After you file

Thank you. Unfortunately - there is no restore point in the system  except for the date when I discovered the problem and re-installed TurboTax again. 

 

This is the only year when I didn't create a  print version for records - as inkjet printers head had dried due to covid period non-use.


Have you tried this -

Right click on the TurboTax icon

Click on Properties

Click on the Compatibility tab

Check the box Run this program as an administrator

Click on Apply and then on OK

 

Start TurboTax and see if the current year files are available.

 

The TurboTax default for saving the tax data files and any PDFs is in the TurboTax folder in the Documents directory.

 

In all my years of using the TurboTax software I have Never experienced a TurboTax installation or a TurboTax update that would remove any files from the TurboTax folder.

I am currently running a Windows 10 PC Version 10.0.19043.  Have TurboTax installed for tax years 2007 thru 2020.  The 2020 TurboTax Premier version has the latest updates - Version 020.000.1744

 

There have been instances where a Windows update would for some reason move the TurboTax folder contents to the Recycle Bin.
