I started my taxes yesterday and found out that my .tax2011 was saved to a windows.old folder because I had to do a custom install because I was installing from xp to 7. I need to report a couple 1099's. Is there anyway I can get to this file so I don't have to completely start over with this year's info?
Welcome to the forum,
You should be able to browse that folder for what your looking for if you haven't deleted it.
It will be located here,
I found it, but the 2012 turbo tax can't find it. At least that is what I'm told.
Have you tried searching that folder for .tax files?
Turbo Tax will most likely not be looking in that folder.
I tried that today and yesterday with the help of a Turbo Tax specialist. No matches found, but when I hover over the source it indicates C:\\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\TurboTax. I tried to go to Windows Support and sort of found help, but I still can't get it visible to Turbo Tax.
You can copy files from Windows.old to respective folders in Seven. Simply copy C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\Your_Username\My Documents\TurboTax folder to C:\Users\Your_Username.
If pasting the folder to C:}Users\Your_Username\ reports that there already is a folder with the same name on your user folder, you can merge folders:
Now you can try if your application finds the files where it is expecting them to be located.

Thanks, still no luck. I saved it, but can't find it with searching .tax. I better get going on replacing everything as I have to have the 1099's done today.
