When I open TurboTax it always opens a new return. I want it to open the return I've been working on.

TurboTax always opens an "empty" return when I start the program.  I always have to "Open Recent Return" and close the newly created return.  Waste of time!  Since I have a return in progress, is there a way to always re-open that return and bypass the forced new return steps?

Thanks ~ Bill

Are you on Windows or Mac?  For Windows where are you saving your return?   It would be best  under C:Documents/Turbo Tax, not on One Drive.  I have Windows 11.  When I open Turbo Tax it comes up with a box to Continue Your 2025 Return  listing my 2 returns.  

Or another way to open the program is to double click on the return ending in .tax2025.   You could save it on your Desktop.
