Hello @EVHNC,
Welcome to the Community. I'd be glad to assist you with your concern about the tax forms in QuickBooks Desktop.
QuickBooks excludes previously-stored tax forms when restoring a backup. Also, yes, there's a way to move those tax forms to the current folder.
I recommend you copy the tax folder and paste it to the new installation folder of your QuickBooks manually. It is saved in a secure folder in the same location as your company file.
Here's how:
- From the Window Start menu, type in File Explorer.

- Click My Computer or This PC.
- Go to this location: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files.
- Locate the folder that contains the .pdf form.
Once done, I suggest you proceed by updating QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. Aside from improving the performance of the software, this process also refreshes the installation folders.
Here's how:
- Click the Help tab in the upper-right corner, then select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
- Go to the Update Now tab.
- Select the updates you want to include.
- Put a checkmark on the box beside Reset Update.
- Hit Get Updates.
