How do I retrieve my completed 2023 return?

Hello everyone.

I already filed my 2023 return and saved it on my laptop, I used Turbo Tab Delux. I was attempting to file amendment due to receiving 1098-e but then changed my mind as it wasn't making any difference. When I started the amendment, it looks like the amendment file overrode my completed 2023 return even though I hadn't "saved". When I closed and relaunched Turbo Tax, I'm not finding any of the data I had entered on my 2023 filing. It's like I need to enter the data all over again.

How do I retrieve my completed 2023 return?

Thanks

When you open TurboTax Deluxe for Windows on your laptop, you should see a page that says Continue with your 2023 Tax Return. You should see your files listed there if you saved both the original and the amendment. If you don't see both files, then it is likely that you selected 'save' instead of 'save as' when you prepared your amendment, thus overwriting the original file. In this case you will need to delete the amended Form 1040X to return your return to its original state. Follow these instructions: How do I cancel or undo an amended return in TurboTax Desktop?

You can also select the blue link, 'find a tax file' ‌to double-check, and see all the Tax Files (.tax2023) are on your computer.

Thank you so much. I was able to delete the unfinished 1040-X and return the original filing.
