I'm don't quite understand why anyone would keep old TurboTax software anyway.
First of all, taxpayers can't get a refund after 3 years, the SOL, or 2 years after the tax has been paid, whichever is later, and although the IRS may send a letter of proposed changes to a return and additional tax, they will only very rarely request that an amended return be filed.
In addition, unless an extreme mistake has been made or there are somewhat unusual circumstances, it is NOT in a taxpayer's best interest to file a return that is past the SOL (time-barred) even if additional tax is due (assuming the standard 3-year SOL applies).
