So...

[conuly]

I can't find our 2023 tax returns. I was sure we filed, but... where is the documentary evidence? Did I file them and forget to email around everybody so we'd all have a copy? And if so, where is my copy?

I'm still 95% sure we filed but... how do I find out if we filed? Do I have to call the IRS? Ugh, that's gonna be a fun way to spend the weekend before tax day!

That makes it much trickier indeed.

The original question is one reason I use TurboTax desktop; it makes it easy to keep local copies of everything including the filing info, and then my usual backup system[1] makes sure I have sufficient protection for those copies.

[1] Local machines back up hourly to a local NAS box, which then replicates daily to another NAS on the opposite coast. Working for decades as a sysadmin will do that to you.

Where did you put the remote NAS? Did you find it a commercial home or is it with a friend? The obvious place for me to park one was at Mr Bostoniensis' place before we married, but now we live together.

It's at my parents' home (and holds their local backups, replicating to my NAS). My plan for when they can no longer host it is to move it to my brother's.
