The file name off my old computer is:  ~Taxes - 2024 - Both.tax2024.  Is this the correct file to use?

    If you have one that has the same name, but without the squiggle "~"....use the one without the squiggle.

     

    The ~-named one is a temporary  emergency backup file that may not be exactly the final you you actually filed  (might or might not be)
