I forgot my password for my 2018 Turbotax file. Can this be recovered?
Yes. your password can be recovered. This link to the TurboTax page Account Recovery Request for your TurboTax Account has information on how to recover your TurboTax account.
I want to be sure that you understood my question. I am not referring to my online turbotax account username and password in this instance. I am referring to the turbortax file saved on my computer after I filed my taxes last year. It was password protected and now I can't remember that password. Can you help with recovering that password?
Is this a password-protected tax file in TurboTax CD/Download?
Since the password information is stored locally on your system, TurboTax is unable to help with forgotten passwords.
So in other words, I don't need an turbotax account recovery. I need a turbotax file recovery. Is there a solution for that?
@one2baia, there are a few steps you can take to recover it, but TurboTax can't assist in unlocking the file or in removing the encryption because it is set by the user. To try these recovery steps, please see this TurboTax FAQ that's related to your question: How do I access my password protected TurboTax Desktop file if I forgot the password?
