Four replies from high TT people ganging up on me within hours of my original post about tax files disappearing would lead me to believe there is indeed a (intentional) problem with tax files disappearing from TT. Ive worked with computers since the 1970s and I am a logical person. You set aside a directory for all your TT stuff, and in 5 days, 5 weeks, couple of months, the return you worked a long time on is no longer there. It's being done on purpose (how TT reaches into my drive and did this I cannot say, but with the whole thing being online now, I'd say it will be even easier to "disappear" files.) I just wondered if anyone saw the future of file existence to change? Im still having to do very little ahead of time cause in February when I file I likely will have no file to send to IRS.
