After you file

Did you use desktop software on a Mac?   When you save the return on a Mac, one of the choices offered to you is to save the file as an encrypted file---which means you better know what password you invented to access that file again.   You do not *have* to encrypt the file---but if you made that choice and forgot the password, that is a problem.
