My federal taxes were rejected. I know the error, I know what to fix, and TurboTax won't let me open my return to correct it. The message I keep receiving says, "Looks like your tax file is corrupt. Try again, and if that doesn't work open a new return..."
How is the file corrupt? It was automatically saved through the TurboTax application. I'd rather not spend another 3-4 hours to redo the whole return.
I've found a few threads here tied to seeing this message when importing last year's files, but I'm not doing that. I've tried importing other backups of my 2022 return, as well as a PDF version of my finished 2022 return, and none of them work. I can't be the only one experiencing this issue.
I'm assuming I need to change something in the file properties. I don't understand how a file could be corrupted when TurboTax is automatically saving in the background unless its a known bug. I've used TurboTax for 8 years, and have the last 3 versions on my Desktop.
Note: My product has the latest updates
