"...it should be on my computer."   You didn't say explicitly, but are you unable to find the *.tax2024 data file?  The default folder for TurboTax data files is the Documents\TurboTax folder.   But search your entire computer system for any file ending in *.tax2024, and if you have more than 1 Windows user account (such as an Admin account or multiple users), log into each Windows user profile and search from within it.  Also check the Recycle Bin in each profile.  A couple of users have reported their data file ended up in OneDrive somehow.   Also check any external storage you may have backed it up to.

You indicate that by checking the box for "Another taxpayer can claim me as dependent on their tax return." in the "My Info" section of the return.  It is a few screens from the beginning on the page with "Let's check for some other situations".

Is there a "save" button? See this article: How do I switch from e-file to file by mail in TurboTax Online? If you continue to have problems, try to take a screenshot and post below. In case this helps as well: How do I file my return by mail?

On the left hand side, hover over the deductions and credits tab and click on Deduction and credits summary.  Locate the Mortgage Interest and Refinancing section and click revisit.  Answer any and all questions in a way that tells TurboTax that you didn't have any mortgage interest expense for the year.  Once you've done this, you should no longer be asked about mortgage interest expense on your personal home.

You need to contact the IRS to get a pin. If you don't think you'll be able to file by the 15th of April, you can file an extension to give yourself more time.  How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN? How do I file an IRS tax extension?

"Once you file your return" ... so TurboTax won't lift a finger to correct issues with their software until you actually file with information that may be wrong, exposing yourself to liability? Way to make your users "completely delighted with their experience"!!1

If you logged into your TTOnline account from last year, the Tax Home dashboard should share your return information. Be sure to use the same user Id you used last year. See: How do I view, download, or print a prior-year tax return? I need help signing in to my Intuit Account
