The 2023 tax data file can only be opened by the 2023 desktop software. If you have the 2023 desktop software on a CD or access a download you need to install the software on your computer to open the data file. If you used the TurboTax online editions to complete the 2023 tax return you can download the PDF of the return and open that file with any compatible PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.
To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Start the 2024 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
