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.

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

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.

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.

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.
