Thanks for the quick response. The first time it happed the new return had a name that stated with the same first letter. That was two or three years ago. Had no problem again until this year. I do not recall any prompt. I can possibly recover the file from my backup program as I need to file an amended return. My point now is that programmers should be made aware so that they can look at this process in the future. I was a Systems Analysts once and worked with programmers. They could improve this faster than I can recover my overwritten file! Just needs a pop-up warning.
