After you file

Do you use One Drive?  People have been finding them there.  

Your tax return file ends in .tax2020, .tax2021, .tax2022 etc.  Search your computer for it.  Check the Recycle Bin or Trash.  Check in One Drive, Drop Box  etc.  It should be in your Documents then in the Turbo Tax folder.  Check your backups.  Also if you have multiple Windows user accounts, log into each one and do the search for the *.tax2022 data file from within each one and checking the Recycle Bin in each one.

 

If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like  "~your name.tax2022".  That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it.
