Where in TurboTax CD/Download can I find a tax return I've already started or completed?

By default, TurboTax saves your tax data files in the Documents folder on your computer. The specific folder location is C:Users DocumentsTurboTax, where is your Windows username and represents the tax year.

For example, Alex Smith is looking for a 2018 tax return, and Alex's Windows username is asmith. If Alex saved the tax return to the default location, it'll be located at C:UsersasmithDocumentsTurboTax2018. To open a tax return, double-click the corresponding tax data file.
