Can I install TT Business on the same computer that has TT Premier installed and use both independently?

I saw there was a previous question about this several years ago, but some of the answers make is sound questionable. I have been using TT Premier for several years on this computer and need to install TT Business. Before I purchase TT Business I need to make sure I can use both programs without them opening or corrupting each other's files. If this is possible please include specific instructions on how the TT Business install should be completed so both programs can run independently. Thank you.

Yes you can install the TurboTax Business Edition and any of the TurboTax personal editions (Basic, Deluxe, Premier or Home and Business) on the same computer for the same tax year. The Business and Personal software do not interact with each other. The Business Edition tax data file and the Personal editions tax data files are separate and one cannot be used with the other.

Yes you can. Make sure it's the separate Business program and not the personal version Home & Business.

Yes.

They are independent, and you can have multiple years installed aslso

I have TT Business and TT Deluxe installed on my computer. After I enter data in Deluxe and exit, Deluxe dumps all entries and I have to begin all over. My tax files and entries on Deluxe are deleted and my only option is to reenter all data.

@willisflyers Are you exiting without saving? In Windows you have to save the .tax2019 file, although it should ask you to save when you exit. Go up to FILE-SAVE before you exit. Did you look for the files? They should be in your Documents in a TurboTax folder. Or search your computer for all files ending in .tax or .tax2019. Did you look in the Recycle Bin? Or where are you trying to save your files? Like in DropBox, in the cloud or an external flash drive, etc.?

See if you have any files that start with a Tilde Sign ~. Those are extra backup files in case you have a computer crash.
