After you file

I think your analysis is correct. 

It sounds like the 3rd filer (2nd daughter) either reused the 2nd filer's (1st daughter) file or perhaps she saved her file in a different folder.

Unless, someone did backups between these actions, the first file would be gone.

NOTE:  Turbotax usually creates saved files in the same folder.  It us usually under or in the folder named Turbotax.  It is possible that one of the files is saved in a different folder.  To check this, you can search your entire pc for a ".tax2021" file.  If the file is elsewhere, this will find it.

 

I suggest a warning to both daughters for next year to avoid this.  I also suggest when a return is completed, save a PDF of all the forms, worksheets and data on your computer.
