Ditto on everything Alan and Winston said, as I concur that I save all the
TurboTax CDs on my "tax shelf" even as there's likely no chance of re-use.
I even saved the turbotax installers which I download from the TurboTax web
site in the later versions where the Costco "box" is just a printed key.
As Alan K. astutely noted, the printed PDF is the most useful archival
format for quick lookups (e.g., when someone asks for your 2020 AGI).
However, I save the final ttax data binaries along with the PDFs,
Nowadays I only print the state & federal main pages & common schedules.
Back to Alan's astute assessment, I agree that I save the old TurboTax CD's
(and now the cardboard things) for reasons that I "might" need them.
But I never do.
However... if I were eve to be audited, I might need them...
But I've survived 8 decades of life without ever getting audited.
I guess that means I pay more than what I needed to pay in taxes. :)
