Lost Turbo Tax backup due to virus
Last year (2023 tax year) I finished most of my taxes in Turbo tax by 1/30/24 and I saved a file in Turbo Tax. I was using the software version of TurboTax abd have never used the online version (so there is no back up). A month later I added remaining data such as stock transactions on 2/28/24 and filed my taxes. Unfortunately, two weeks later I got a virus and had to reformat my computer, which resulted in losing the Turbotax file which I filed with the IRS. I already went to the IRS website and was able to download my transcript of my tax return but obviously that's in a different format from Turbo Tax. If I need to rebuild last years return how exactly would I do this? Would that mean I have to go back to Turbotax 2023 and save all the data in there and if so would that let me export a file which I could then import into Turbo Tax 2024? My taxes aren't so simple because of a lot of 1099-MIS and 1099-INT forms along with self-employment income.
