Now that I have filed my return I can print the forms but not the accompanying worksheets nor the summary cover letter that were available prior to filing. How to I access those pages so that I can print them?

Please follow the steps in this TurboTax FAQ How do I get a copy of a return I filed this year in TurboTax Online? to print a copy of your 2020 tax return after it has been accepted. Your printout will include extra documentation and calculation worksheets for your files but not W-2s, 1099s, or any other forms from your employer, bank, brokerage, etc. because TurboTax didn't generate those forms.

These instructions don't help for those of us with the Desktop software who are having the same issue of NO summary sheet or mailing instructions.

How do I print the cover letter and return summary, including tax estimate schedule, for 2020 federal return. It did not print with my return.

Are you referring to the "thank you", summary pages, filing instructions page, electronic postmark, etc.? If you have already filed, but the PDF you download at the Tax Home doesn't have those extra pages, here's how to get them:

Here's how to open your return back up to go the Print Center where you can choose various PDFs.

NOTE: When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed.

Log in and go to Your Tax Returns & Documents. Click that line or on the word SHOW to expand that section.
Choose 2018 tax year.
Click on "Add a State." (you don't really add one. That's just to open your return back up.)
After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
The next screen should offer 3 options: "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)" The latter option has the most pages.
