Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@rsa14

 

Have you tried a "brute force" search?

 

Do a Search on the entire C: drive (just for filenames, not file contents) for *.tax2019, if that is the drive you saved your tax files on before.

 

Let the Search run, it may take a bit depending on the number of files.

 

When your tax file is found, be very sure to note the exact directory that it is in - Windows uses a lot of User\ and My Notes and My Documents and other folders so that the tax file isn't always where you (or TurboTax) thinks it is.

 

Once you have the exact file location, you can click on File in TurboTax, then Open Tax Return and click on the hard to see link Find a Tax File. On the next screen, enter the full path and filename. 

 

Once you have pulled up your tax return this way, TurboTax should remember its location.
