Hopefully you kept a copy of the filed return off the computer somewhere safe because if you opened the program and allowed an update then the return is updated as well when you open it ...
It's always a good idea to make a
backup copy of your tax data file, in case your original gets lost or
corrupted. Here's how:
1. From the File menu in the
upper-left corner of TurboTax, choose Save As (Windows)
or Save (Mac).
2. Browse to where you want to save your backup.
o
Tip: If you're saving to a portable device, save it
to your computer first to prevent data
corruption. Then, after completing Step 4, copy or move the backup file to your
device.
3. In the File name field, enter a
name that will distinguish it from the original tax file (for example, add
"Backup" or "Copy" to the file name)
4. Click Save and then close
TurboTax.
5. Restart TurboTax and open the backup copy to make sure
it's not corrupted. If you get an error, delete the backup and repeat these
steps.
If you make changes to your
original tax return file, repeat these steps to ensure your original and backup
copies are in-synch.
