@billgregoryusafa If you used the Desktop program the only copies are on your computer. Did you save the pdf file each year? If you only have the .tax2018, .tax2017 etc. files you need that year installed to open it. Do you still have the CDs or you can download the program again? Did you buy from Turbo Tax?
If you need to download your program…..

After you get the program reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN
If you can’t find or install the program to open a .tax file you can use www.taxprinter.com to convert a .tax file to pdf. No connection to Turbo Tax. They might be expensive.
Or get a copy from the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
Or order an exact copy of your tax return (including all attachments) from the IRS. There is a fee per tax return. See http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc156.html for complete instructions
