What file extension does turbo tax save under? Need to search through a file recovery batch that does not keep title of files intact but keeps file extension

Example = MS Word saves as .doc  What does Turbo Tax save as?

.tax[Year of filing]
For example, a 2018 file would be called Tax Return.tax2018
