Question

Tax file backup

I think I know the answer - just isn't answer I want!! ☹

I had a computer issue - crash.  I thought I had Carbonite backing up files on my computer - it was except my tax files.  Is there any way of retrieving lost files? Almost all were filed electronically.

Thank you for any suggestions.

You're the only one with access to your client files, if you didnt back them up, unfortunately they're gone.

Tried getting an IT person to try and resurrect anything on the hard drive?

I use Carbonite as well and almost did the same thing as you this year, I totally forgot to tag the 2022 data folder back when I installed 2022 for backup until late February, I suddenly noticed the little dot wasnt next to the folder!

Thank you for your response (wish it had been different but I'm not going to shoot at the messenger for my mistake!!!).  I will look into seeing if I can get files back as you suggest.

I also use Carbonite, but I also use an external hard drive backup in addition to it.  You can never be too safe.  And for the record I'm not paranoid --------------------- but I do use Intuit products so you can never be too safe. 😅
