I recently discovered I made a mistake on my 2021 return that I need to amend. Upon logging into Turbo Tax online, I don't see the 2021 return in my documents. I am pretty sure it's because I used the desktop version of TT that year to file. I have a new computer now and don't have the CD or desktop version of TT anymore. I do have a copy of my return along with the actual file of my original return (.lnk file), but I can't open it. How can I go about amending this return?

You have three options - you can use the copy of your return that you have to fill out paper forms in order to amend the return using forms available from the IRS online here, you can type all of your information into TurboTax online and amend it here or you can try to purchase a copy of the 2021 TurboTax desktop program that you used from eBay.  Good luck!
