I submitted my taxes on TT desktop and it was accepted. Great. I then opened my son's 2023 form, which had "JR" in his filename (since he is a junior) and did his 2024 taxes. Submitted those without incident, and all was good. However, I just realized that my son's 2024 file did NOT have the "JR" in his filename (like it did in 2021, 2022, and 2023), meaning that my tax files were overwritten - and since I didn't notice this, the PDF file I made for my son also overwrote mine. WTF. What an annoying bug this is.
Do I have any recourse now? Is my only option to actually pay more money to request a copy from the IRS?
Why on earth does TurboTax not retain any revisions of files created along the way? Consider that a feature request.
