I began filling out my 1041 trust return and lost it. How do I continue?

HELP!

When you use the downloaded BUSINESS version to complete a 1041  then you must save the return from time to time.  When you close the return the program automatically prompts you to save it so if you failed to say yes then the return was not saved and you will have to start over again.

If you used the Windows Desktop program you need the file ending in .taxyyyy to open in it. The tax files (and PDF files) should be in your Documents then in a Turbo Tax subfolder. If you can't find them do a search for all files ending in .tax or .tax2020 or .tax2019, etc. And check the Recycle Bin. For Windows 10 check the One Drive. Did you make any backups? Like DropBox.

If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like "~your name.tax2020". That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it.
