So have you found out what is wrong with TurboTax installations that it seems to delete prior "name.taxyear" files, even when they are placed in another drive in their own storage folder? I would have thought perhaps if they were left in the same directory that the program puts them in, perhaps on installation of the new program, it may delete what was left in the older slot (should be easy to fix), but this is completely another level of severity where it is deleting previous years' tax files when they are purposely placed in a separately designated folder on another hard drive. This happened last year and I was upset and thought perhaps I did something, but before I installed, this year, I made sure I placed the files (both name.tax2020 and the related name.pdf file) in a folder on another drive, but the program tax file was deleted /missing after installation. I am finding many many people online that this has happened and Intuit has to be aware of this (otherwise they are just pretending it doesn't exist to escape culpability).
