Backing Up TurboTax
Summary:
- This article is for Windows - View the Mac article
Your TurboTax data should be included in your backup by default if you chose Automatic Setup when you installed Carbonite on your computer. You can view the backup status of a file by navigating to its location on the computer and viewing the colored status dot on the file and/or folder.
Solution:
TurboTax data files normally have the file extension .TAX (followed by the year), and they are typically stored in one of the following locations.
| Operating System | File Location |
| Windows Vista and Newer |
C:\Users\[User Name]
|
|
Windows XP
|
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]
|
If colored status dots do not appear on your TurboTax files and/or folders, you can right-click them and select Carbonite; Back this up to include the files in your backup set.
