Thanks for getting back to this thread, @dso0216.


Allow me to provide you more information in regard to restoring all of your tax form info in QuickBooks. 

 

Once you upgrade or restore a backup copy, it will automatically replace all of your historical information. This is the reason why the previous data in your company file is gone.

 

Also, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) will automatically save the filing history in your company file. You can check this is out in the Payroll Tax Center. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu and select Employee Center.
  2. In the Payroll section, click File Forms.file.PNG
  3. Under the Filing History, view your saved tax filings. Once you click it, this will automatically route you to the QuickBooks Data directory.

 

Please take note that once you upgrade your version, it will automatically create another file directory. This will serve as another location to save your new Filing History data in QBDT.

 

However, you can always create a backup whenever you file your taxes. This way, we make sure that all of your tax form information is safe. 

 

In addition, I recommend creating a separate folder and store a different backup copy in your other storage device. This will help you safeguard your data in case of hardware or software failure.

 

I'm always here to help if you have any other concerns or questions. Just tag my name in the comment section and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Have a great weekend.
