My state is asking me to file a missing 2018 filing (its beyond 3 years due to special circumstances -- I'm a veteran). So I re-installed my copies of 2017 and 2018 Turbotax Premier. 2017 let me download the state forms yesterday (Feb 23, 2023), but the 2018 TurboTax would not download and did not even allow me to open the .tax2018 file I previously made that included the MA tax return info I entered. Why did I reinstall? Well, my previous computer died. So now I cannot complete the .tax2018 state return nor carry over that data to the .tax2019 and subsequent returns. Is there anyway to get my 2018 TurboTax state files downloaded and working? Again, 2017 downloaded fine, as did 2019 yesterday. I share the view of the prior commenter, that the hours and hours of trying to get my old return to work in the app I purchased should be simple and not a reason to go to a different tax software vendor. Thank you.
