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.

@cvbooker Do you have multiple accounts? Here is more information on retrieving an account.
How many TurboTax accounts do I have?
If you still require assistance please reply here in the forum.
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:
You'll get a toll-free number to a TurboTax expert who is specially-trained to handle your particular issue.
Where are tech support peaple
very bad support cannot answer simple questions/ they have to text someone else or email to relay questions and answers

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.
