Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Not much else to say, when I reset windows, I lost TurboTax and I need to reinstall so I can access my old returns?

This is problematic because reinstalling TurboTax will not have the effect of restoring your tax return files (e.g., .tax2019, .tax2018). 

 

If you did not save your tax return files to another medium, such as a flash drive, then they are most likely gone and perhaps forever. The only chance of recovering them would be to use a data recovery service or use data recovery software yourself. 

 

Note that, with installed (desktop) versions of TurboTax, Intuit would not have a copy of your tax files.
