Copy the contents of the TurboTax folder in My Documents from the old computer to the new computer.

Programs that old can no longer be installed since they are no longer supported ... hopefully you saved the returns as PDFs  so you still have access to them as you will not be able to open any of the old .tax files without the correlating program. 


Why should I save a PDF copy of my return?

Saving a copy of your return as a PDF (in addition to the proprietary tax data format TurboTax uses) lets you open, view, and print your return using the free Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader software.

This is a lifesaver if your tax data file gets corrupted or if you no longer have the TurboTax software to open it in. The government will also accept PDF copies.

Please note that TurboTax PDF files cannot be "read" by the TurboTax software the way the tax data file can, which means they cannot be used for amending, troubleshooting calculation issues, or for full prior-year transfer capabilities.
