@Keither49 Maybe there's another .tax2023 file on your backup. There might be one that starts with a ~ tilde sign. If you have the .tax2023 file you can copy it on a flash drive to copy to the new computer. Copy it to your Documents, it should go in a Turbo Tax folder under Documents. I would copy the whole Turbo Tax folder to the new computer so you have all the pdf and .tax files incase you need them.
Why did you try opening it in Adobe? It's not a pdf file. You don't open a .tax2023 except in the 2023 Turbo Tax program.
You TRANSFER it into 2024. You start a brand new 2024 tax return and the first thing it should find your .tax2023 file and ask if you want to Transfer it. If it doesn't find the file you can browse to where you saved it.
