I see that Photo Rec recognizes files saved by Intuit's Turbo Tax program

https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Fo ... y_PhotoRec

.tax (square box with open arrow pointing up/right - a link) Turbo Tax

The link points to here:

https://git.cgsecurity.org/cgit/testdis ... file_tax.c

Is this perhaps the source code for finding this filetype?

I ask because for about 10 years Turbo Tax has used a year specific extension, e.g. *.tax2015

I would like to use PhotoRec to recover *.tax2016, *.tax2017, and *.tax2018 from a data disk.

I don't see the files on the disk anymore when I log it using Kim Henkel's ZTreeWin, my go-to file manager program.

thanks,

Run PhotoRec! You will see if it recover your files or not.
Be careful to store the recovered files on another partition than the source.
