Missing tax file (*.tax2023)

[Meg54]

I cannot find the TurboTax tax file (*.tax2023) on the hard drive (C:) of my PC. Where does TurboTax store the tax file?

I can find the 2023 tax files in the external hard drive I use for FileHistory backups.

I have been using TurboTax for many years. I store the tax files in a folder for each year. The folder name is C:\Users\garre\File System\Financial\Taxes\yyyy\ where yyyy is the tax year. For years prior to 2008 the file type is *.tax. For years 2008 to 2021 the file type is *.taxyyyy where yyyy is the tax year.

I have looked online for answer to the above questions but have been unsuccessful.

The default is documents/Turbotax.

If you installed using the default settings, there should be a "Turbo Tax" folder in your Documents folder where the .taxYYYY files are located.
