I recommend you save your filed return, then save a new copy with a new file name. Do not risk playing around with the the final submitted version. It is too risky otherwise.
Hope this helps.
Problem still exists in 2024 desktop version.
I have observed that autosave occurs regardless of the on/off state of MacOS System settings: “Ask to keep changes when closing documents”. I have verified that autosave is happening by observing the modification date of the original file while using the TT App. It periodically overwrites your original file while the App is being used.
In my opinion this autosave problem can adversely affect customers using the Mac desktop version. The problem begins when the TT App periodically saves your tax file without asking. When the file is saved, it then defeats the ability to perform “Revert changes” later when Quitting the App.
The most serious customer impact occurs when you Quit the App and still get prompted with an option to “Revert changes”. If you select that, you assume your file will be reverted back to when you first opened the file, BUT in fact it has been modified (by TT autosave) and you don’t realize it. Worse, you do not get a message that “Revert changes” was ineffective. Your tax file may now be corrupted with undesired entries and you don’t realize it. You could possibly file a return with incorrect data because of this design flaw.
I suggest Intuit provide a new App setting that allows users to toggle on/off the autosave feature for desktop versions. Ensure that both the App and the MacOS honor the "Save or Revert" function when Quitting the App.
You wrote everything perfectly and Everything you said is correct. I’ve been experiencing this issue for four years now and that’s why I refuse to buy the Mac version. there’s no way around it. I’ve tried everything and all the suggestions that were posted on other forums. This is a huge glitch with TurboTax. I have to buy the PC version and use an old laptop to do my taxes. For some reason, TurboTax does not want to acknowledge or fix this
