I produced two tax returns: one for my daughter, the other for my wife and me. Now, when I reopen TurboTax, I see that I have four choices, and I also see four files in File Explorer. Two of them are labeled just like I'd expect: 2018 Lastname Firstinitial. The other two look the same, but there is a ~ symbol in front of them. I don't know which one to choose. Is this a problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Ignore the Tilde ~ files.
The ~ is a tilde file. Those are temporary files that you normally don't see and normally are deleted. But now Turbo Tax is leaving them in the folder in case something happens like your computer crashes. Then you can go back. Just ignore them.
