How do I find my incomplete 2022 return to finish it? Please help. Thank you CT

I am using a Turbo Tax CD disc to input my return.  Had to stop and then manually load any updates to Federal. Do I need to go back to my document file where I saved the incomplete return so I can complete it?

Try searching your computer for the file. Search on the entire C: drive (just for filenames, not file contents) for *.tax, if that is the drive you saved your tax files on before. Let the Search run, it may take a bit depending on the number of files.

When your tax file is found, be very sure to note the exact directory that it is in - Windows uses a lot of User\ and My Notes and My Documents and other folders so that the tax file isn't always where you (or TurboTax) thinks it is.

Once you have the exact file location, you can click on File in TurboTax, then Open Tax Return and click on the hard to see link Find a Tax File. On the next screen, enter the full path and filename. Once you have pulled up your tax return this way, TurboTax should remember its location. Also, check the recycle bin and your backups. 

You can also try the solution offered in this Turbo Tax help article. 
Error 102345 or Error 1932147737 occurs while opening a tax file.

Do you use One Drive?  People have been finding it there.

Did you search your whole computer for all files ending in .tax2022?  And check the recycle bin and your backups.  Check in One Drive, Drop Box, etc.  it should be in your Documents then in the Turbo Tax folder.  Also if you have multiple Windows user accounts, log into each one and do the search for the *.tax2022 data file from within each one and checking the Recycle Bin in each one.

Thank you.  You were very thorough and descriptive to help me.  2022 Turbo Tax was more of a challenge this year.  Hope kinks can be worked out and make it more user friendly.

Thank you for your reply.  I don't like One Drive.  It just gets in my way.
