Additionally, your tax returns are not stored in the application files or on the CDs. Your tax returns are stored in separate documents that are usually located in your documents folder and that have a file name like “John Smith 2019.Tax 2019“. You can have multiple tax documents just like you have multiple word processing documents, and deleting the application does not delete the tax documents. (Although you certainly could have deleted the tax documents as well that’s up to you.)
If you install TurboTax for 2020 on your computer, the first thing it will do when you start the program is look for a 2019 tax file that it can open and import your basic information. This should include the information from form 8606.
