To move from your old computer. You can't transfer programs. They need to be installed. You should be able to install the prior years and open the prior years returns. What happens? If you are getting an error opening the prior year.....After you get the program reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN
