I accidentally deleted last year's Tax Return from TurboTax (the 2022 tax return)

I accidentally deleted my 2022 Tax Return from TurboTax; what do I do now? I loaded the CD for tax year 2023 but previous return data is not in TurboTax, it says the file is corrupted. I have a hard copy and a PDF soft copy but Nothing in TurboTax for tax year 2022.

you may not have deleted all versions of the 2022 tax file. when you use a Windows desktop a backup is created. It's usually in the c:\users\"user name" \documents\ TurboTax folder and starts with a ~ (tilde). It should show up when you click on start a new return. if it's there you can delete the tilde. If it's not there then all copies are probably gone. if it is there whether it reflects your 2022 return as filed is unknown. PDF's are virtually worthless since only limited data is transferred. You could order a copy of the 2022 return by filing form 4506 with the IRS - no state data and there is a fee.
