Re: Cannot reopen saved tax2020 file- workaround

I bought the downloadable version of TurboTax Premier and installed it on my Windows 10 laptop. After spending a few hours to complete both my tax-year 2020 federal and state returns, I saved a .tax2020 file and exited for the day. Now when I try to re-open my .tax2020 file to resume my return, I get the message: "Looks like your tax file is corrupt, we're having trouble opening your return. Try opening again. If that doesn't solve the problem, create a new tax return" Creating a new tax return is not a great option as I will have to redo a few hours of work. Has anyone else hit this issue and been able to figure out a solution?

Cannot reopen saved tax2020 file

Same issue as everyone else here. My workaround was to find my *.tax2020 file in Explorer, rt click 'open with', track down the TT file C:\Program files (x86)\Turbo Tax\Home & Business 2020\32bit\Turbo Tax.exe (application file @2262kb size).

it open the file and off I went...
