TurboTax Generated File Confusion on Windows
When doing my return it takes several days to over a week to complete. Every time I used TurboTax Premier on Windows and then save work, TT generates 2 files:
2025 RIP Form 1040 Individual Tax Return, and ~2025 RIP Form 1040 Individual Tax Return. Notice the '~'
in the other file name. In addition to these 2, every time I do a File Save, TT creates another ~2025 Rout P Form 1040 Individual Tax Return file. I now have 2 ~ files. The creation/modified from Properties on these files are the same.
Why is TT doing this? How do you get it to stop this? TT should only update the 2025 RIP Form 1040 Individual Tax Return file - and not be creating these other versions. These other files create confusion and is yet another example of TT behavior not common to normal app behavior on Windows.
