    You have to sign onto your online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

     

    Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

    Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

     

    If none of the user ID's received will access your  account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

     

    If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

                  

    To access your prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

     

    Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

     

     

     

    I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

    TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $90).

     

    To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

    If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.

     

    You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

    Or you can pay the IRS $50 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
