I did my 2017 taxes on Turbo Tax and filed them.  I was sure that I kept a file and now that I need it, I can't find it on my computer.  

 

Any ideas on how I might find it?

    Did you use online software or did you download desktop software (or install it from a CD)?  

     

    Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

    Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

    Note:  Every year, before mid-October, print a copy of your current year tax return and save it as a tax file and pdf, too.  That way you will have it when you need it for school, a loan, next year’s tax return, etc. without going through a lot of aggravation (and expense)  to get it.
