Can I download my 2016 data? I had to reset my computer and do not have my 2016 Turbotax data now.

I cannot find the Turbotax program either.

You are posting from desktop TurboTax.  If your tax return was prepared using desktop software on your own computer, then your tax return is not stored online with TurboTax.  It is only stored locally on the hard drive of the computer you used or on any backup devices you used like a flashdrive.

You can request a transcript of your return if you filed it-https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
