    You have to use exactly the same account and user ID.  Did you forget?

     

    Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

    Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

    When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due.  Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return?  Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes  This will show up on line 17 of your Form 1040

     

    You can still e-file 2018 until October 15, 2019.  After that e-filing will shutdown and a 2018 return will have to be printed, signed and mailed.
