After you file
How does one use these tilde (~) backup files? I had done several days worth of work on a very complex tax return when my computer crashed. A full Windows re-installation was required. (Yes, I know--my fault for not saving regularly.)
I see two files:
2022 Surname D Form 1040 Individual Tax Return.tax2022 4/17/2023
~2022 Surname D Form 1040 Individual Tax Return.tax2022 10/19/2023
After re-installing Turbotax, I tried to open the tilde file, but I get the message:
We're having trouble opening your file.
You can try using your back-up file instead. You'll find
instructions on how to open your back-up file in the link
below.
Error: 102345

The "Click for Solution" link just takes me to a general support page though:

The older file seems to open fine.
