Working on 2016 tax return - how do I transfer a copy to another computer as a back-up or make a copy on a disc?

If I understand correctly, you are telling me that there is no way to create a back-up of a partially completed 2016 tax return.  Even though I have your disc in hand, I am stuck.   If my computer fails, I need to start from scratch on another computer.   I cannot make a back-up of my partial return and put that on another computer?    Or simultaneously work on two computers for the same return - example a desk-top and a lap top that I travel with.

If that is your policy, I advise that you change it.   It makes no sense and I have been using your product since it came out.  

Please advise.   lwulker@fuse.net

s far as I know you should be able to copy the Turbo Tax Document in a flash drive.  Naturally you will not be able to open it unless you open it in a computer were you have the 2016 Turbo Tax software installed.

Hope this helps

That's the problem.  I do not see any way to copy a 2016 return that I am working on to a flash drive.  How do you do it?

[Tony20110]

Not sure what kind of computer you are using, but I have a window computer (not an Apple) and I just right click on the file in my hard drive and copied and past it in the flash drive, no problem.

Thanks Tony.  I made the copy to the flash drive.   I was panicking because I got the blue screen of death on the Windows machine.   Looks like the graphics driver is going out intermittently .   Larry
