Build Turbo Tax return from federal filing

[epiciocc12]

My PC with last 2 years of Turbox Tax files went belly up.

I cannot recover my Turbo Tax Files or saved PDF's.

Is there anyway to basically reverse build my Turbo Tax files from my IRS filings?

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.  They are not stored online.  If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30 an actual copy of your tax return.

I assume you don't have any backups or a printout of your tax returns?  You will have to do 2025 next year from scratch.    Other than transferring to next year is there a reason you need them?   Like do you have any carryovers or items like depreciation? 

You would have to install the programs again by downloading them from your online account.  Then manually enter everything into a new return.   If you do the oldest year first and it matches your filed return or comes out close you can transfer it into the next  year to start the next year return and so on.   If you get 2024 filled out  you can transfer it into next year.  

Did you use Turbo Tax before the last 2 years?  Do you have any older .taxyyyy or pdf files?
