After you get the program reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program.
Do you still have the tax data file ending in .tax2015? Search your computer for it. That's what you need to open in the program. Or if you have the 2014 tax file (.tax2014) you can start a new return and transfer again. And in Windows be sure to manually save often. The Windows Turbo Tax doesn't automatically save. So go to FILE - SAVE or SAVE AS frequently as you enter data.

This is the TurboTax US user community website.
Go to this TurboTax Canada website for assistance with a Canadian tax return or the TurboTax Canada editions - https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/tax-help
It is likely due to different system compatibility. Try reinstalling the program.

I have the turbotax 2015 but it won't open
This thread was from an earlier year, the 2019 date is just the date it was moved to the new board. Turbotax 2015 and earlier are no longer supported. They may or may not open, depending on your system, but Turbotax does not provide fixes or troubleshooting any longer.
If you need a copy of your 2015 return and did not save a copy of your return in PDF format, you can request a transcript from the IRS.
I need my 2015 tax returns. How do I retrieve them from my computer?

Sorry you can't use Turbo Tax. And it's too late to get any refunds for 2015 now.
You might want to go to a local accountant or tax place if you have a complicated return. For simple returns you can fill out the forms by hand.
Here are some blank forms & instructions for 2015

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
@RkingJohnson You need to prepare a 2015 tax return? Software is no longer available to use TurboTax for a 2015 return. Only 2018, 2019 or 2020 can be prepared using TurboTax now. It is also too late to receive a refund for a 2015 return, but if you owe tax due you still need to pay the IRS (and maybe your state).
You can download the paper forms to prepare by hand and mail them in:
2015

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
you can't. it is no longer supported. what do you need 2015?
@Granny31 I answered that on your other post here,
@Granny31 TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. A 2015 return is gone. Sorry.
