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.

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

The older file seems to open fine.
