Where can I find a 2022 tax file in Turbo Tax? I have my saved PDF file but I cannot find the file that normally shows up in Turbo Tax when I open the program.

I am looking for the file that ends in .tax2022

Are you using the Desktop program?  Windows or Mac?  

For Windows 

Did you search your whole computer for all files ending in .tax2022?  And check the recycle bin and your backups.  Check in One Drive, Drop Box, etc.  it should be in your Documents then in the Turbo Tax folder.  Also if you have multiple Windows user accounts, log into each one and do the search for the *.tax2022 data file from within each one and checking the Recycle Bin in each one.

If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like  "~your name.tax2022".  That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it.

Thank you very much! I don't know how it ended up in my recycle bin. I found it and restored it.
