Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?
I purchased from online every year from Intuit. I have changed the computer and all my previous years tax information is in my old computer. I need 2022 info to upload in my new computer for 2023
If you are using TurboTax Online, then you can just login to your account on your new computer to see the PDFs of your previous tax returns.
If you are using TurboTax CD/Download, then you will need to copy your tax return files from your old computer to a USB drive, or a cloud storage system. Then use the drive/cloud storage with your new computer and copy the files there.
What is the file name that I need to copy and transfer from old computer to new computer
They would have yours and whoever else's name as the file name.
By default, TurboTax stores files in this folder: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\TurboTax
My question is I have the documents, the actual copies of tax returns copied but require the programs from previous years. I have already paid for them all. Do I need the actual programs to look at returns from previous years?
Please use our TurboTax FAQ to choose your already purchased 2022 Standard Download software. Where can I get the Download edition of TurboTax? We have sent you an email to the email address associated to this account, with your previous license code.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
Thank you, I've gotten both 2022 & 2023 reloaded. Is there a way to get 2020 & 2021 too?
We have sent you an email for your 2021 and an email for your 2020 to the email address associated with this account. Please save the emails for future use.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
Thank you for your assistance, I have not received any emails yet with Installation codes for 2020 & 2021 yet. I did found my 2019 Installation code. I have checked all my folders including spam to be sure they are not here. I have also checked through all my old paper folders & looked for the old CD's to try to locate these myself. I will watch for the emails, hopefully they are on their way 🙂
Yes hopefully you will receive them as they were sent to the email associated to your Intuit account at that time.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
I haven't received anything so I must assume it went to an old email that is no longer accessible. Can you please contact me directly through this email (not this chat) to let me know how to get them. I have purchased this product unfailingly since the early 2000's. There should be a way through my account to do this myself. There is obviously a record that they've ben purchased, will you consider sending them to my current email?
We have sent you an email with the requested information. Please let us know if you received it.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
Thank you to you all for getting me back on track so quickly, changing computers is a labour intensive job and you've made it fairly easy for me , thank you!
I am changing computers.
Each year when I us Turbotax, Turbot tax links to various accounts and to lots information from past tax returns.
I have no clue how to find the files and save them to a drive.
Are you saying the links are gone unless I figure how to get all the old data and put it on the new compute.
It is easier, several hours, but doable to buy someone else's product and start over.
My alternative is to keep an old outdated computer until Turbox tax no longer works on it

Are you really saying that you don't store customer Turbotax files. If so, that's fine. I'll start over.
I suspect that we are talking about lost more than one file if you want all the connections to various sources of data that Turbotax grabs each year.
You will click on the following link- and then click on the tax year 2022- it will start downloading- you will then enter your license code from your 2022 software to install. Once installed you will need to go back into the 2022 return and save the PDF copy on your new computer - then you can transfer your 2022 information to your 2023 tax return.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
