I had completely filled out my taxes but not filed. I opened up Turbo Tax 2019 this morning and the program thinks I am a new user - all my data is lost! How can I get it back?

    You are more likely just in the wrong account.

     

    Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

    Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

    I use the desktop software. But they are not on my hard drive. The tax returns for the previous years are, but not the return for 2019.
