I need help with my TurboTax.  My hard drive crashed.  I replaced it and preserved as much of the old hard drive as possible.  I am having trouble accessing the my files.  I still have the cd for 2018 but am missing 2015, 2016, and 2017.

@djmaloof If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.  They are not stored online.  If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $50, an actual copy of the return.

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Contact your state for copies of previous state returns.

You could call customer support to see if they will help with downloads for the 2016 & 2017 software, but if you used desktop software to prepare the returns, you may not be able to recover the lost tax files--depending on how disastrous your hard drive crash was.

Phone support is not provided with the Free Edition.  If you are using a paid version of the software or if you purchased PLUS you can get phone support when customer support is there.  Otherwise, post your question here and someone will try to help.

You can still install TurboTax if your computer doesn't have a CD Drive, you can install directly from InstallTurboTax.com.

Please see the below TurboTax FAQ for information and instructions:

You have to sign onto your online account using the exact same user ID you used to create the online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the user ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "

Try something else

"

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

To access your prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

If you still cannot access your account, you can contact TurboTax customer service/support through their contact website during business hours.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for a contact link and hours of operation - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3401489

Submit your question/problem during business hours and then use the option for Call (a phone number will be provided for Call) to speak directly with a TurboTax agent -

Note:  The Call option will not be available when TurboTax Support is closed.

Support can also be reached by messaging them on these pages https://www.facebook.com/turbotax/ and https://twitter.com/TeamTurboTax

I need tech support to solve an ongoing problem. When starting TurboTax, it always askes for activation code.  I have only installed it once but have used code 5 times to sign into program.  Now it will not start up the TT program .  I have the Home & Business version and downloaded it from Amazon.    I have tried all 4 methods given in the online Help file to correct the problem but still does not work.  When I was able to sigh on, the program would update and load. It loads my browser to use online help and has e-filed one return.   I need to file a family member's return as I have been able to do in the past.  I need this problem solved.  I can not spend hours online trying to get a new activation code every time I start the program.

I have turned off virus prg and firewalls, but program still will not load and work.

You can call TurboTax and speak with an agent.  TurboTax customer service/support does not have a single phone number but has many different phone numbers based on the type of platform used.  So that we can direct your call to the best person/department to help you:

  1. Click on this link:  https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
  2. Select your TurboTax platform.  
  3. Ask your question / state your problem.  Do NOT use the word "refund' or you will get a phone number for tax refunds.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. On the next screen, choose the Call option and follow the instructions.  You will be given the approximate wait time.  

You'll get a toll-free number to a TurboTax expert who is specially-trained to handle your particular issue.

How can I transfer the federal information from 2019 (after hard drive failed and was restored to a new hard dive) I have filed the 2019 state programs and don't need or want to purchase them again.

 

Please let me know the workaround to allow me to go forward to 2020 filing in Turbo Tax.

Are you using the online or desktop version of Turbo Tax? and are you saying that you have already filed both 2019 state and federal or just 2019 state? Please clarify so that we may better assist. In the interim, here are the contact details for support via phone which is the topic of the original thread @CHALKCREEKCONSULTING.
