I started my taxes a few weeks ago but my Turbo Tax CD didn't save my data. What happened? I thought it was supposed to save this automatically.

It lost my data from my previous work. Is there someway to find it. Hours of work were lost!

You have to click File and Save it on your own hard drive.  it is not saved on the CD.  And it is not saved automatically in desktop.  You have to save it yourself.
