I have a new second computer and it is my intent to load TurboTax 2006 on that computer.
My old computer has the previous years TurboTax on it from which I did my 2005 return.
I want to copy the data files over to the new computer so that I can import the 2005 data into the 2006 TurboTax so that I do not have to re enter all that data.
I cannot find the data files to copy. Can someone help me.

They will have a file extension of
"*.tax". For example "filename.tax"

They will have a file extension of
"*.tax". For example "filename.tax"

They must be hidden as I cannot locate any .tax files

Do a search with hidden files displayed.

I don't believe .tax files are hidden. It's been a year. Are you sure you didn't delete them?

 

[DCM1519]

My .tax files are not hidden by default.

Have you opened Windows Explorer and gone to "Tools", "Folder Options", "View" to see if your explorer is showing hidden files?

It is a little ways down the list of options and has a checkbox to show hidden files.

I use Taxcut, and the extention for the return itself is....T03, T04, T05 etc.

I believe the extension for TurboTax is indeed TAX, though I also use TaxCut.
