Continuing work on 2022 Return

I am unable to open my draft return which I last worked on in March 2023, after getting an extension until 10/16/23. It apparently saved as a ".tax2022" document, which my desktop does not recognize. I really do not want to start all over entering data. Is there a trick to opening that draft return?

Are you trying to transfer that tax file or open it?

 

You should be opening it in the 2022 program (not transferring it in).

Yes that's the right file name.  Are you using the Desktop program?  How are you trying to open it?  Are you in the right year program 2022?  Try double clicking on that file and it should open in the program.  Or launch 2022 and go up to File-Open.  What happens?  Are you on Windows or Mac ?

You might need to update the program.  Go to Online-Check for updates
