How do I retreive a tax return that I just finished and when it asked do I want to save, I hit the wrong button.

If it asked if you wanted to save and you said NO, youre stuck re-doing the return. 

There is no copy saved anywhere, you told it not to save it, sorry.

Start trying to process that tax return again.

And what might happen you will get a notice about something that was not finish and would you like to install where you left off.

Goopd luck

Dis regard my earlier answer. I agree with Lisa that you will have to start over.

The instruction that I previously gave you applies to a completely different situation.

thats only if the program crashed while you were in the client file.....when you tell it not to save, it listens to you  😕

I thought it automatically saves it every 10 minutes or so the so-called automatic backup?

[rcooley25]

You are absolutely right.

I have already sent him another post telling him to disregard my previous answer.

Man it is rough getting Old.

It does, to save you if the program crashes, but if you tell it not to save, it doesn't. 

I make changes to returns all the time to see what would happen if someone didnt have a dependent or had soc security income, then when I exit I choose NO, because don't want it to save any of that.
