Have new Windows 11 computer

johnny456 · ‎February 09, 2026

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)
