Thank you! Found my file in the recycle bin!
Good news!
Be sure to save a backup copy of the *.taxYYYY data file in a safe location, such as an external drive, etc. I save a backup copy on a flash drive after every session when I work on the return. In addition, after filing, I save PDFs as well for easy viewing throughout the year. I usually save a PDF "as filed" and a larger PDF with all the worksheets and extra pages.
Also be sure to protect and guard the tax files appropriately since they have your personal info, financial data, and in many cases, bank account numbers, etc.
