I have received letter from NY Dept of Taxation & Finance that the IRS adjusted my Federal Income Tax return for 2021. Where can I find original amount & amended amount?

@nasha73 look at your copy of your 2021 tax return and also review your transcript at the IRS website.

When you amended---did you save the original return as a pdf first--as instructed?   If you did not save the original as a pdf, the amended return overwrote the original.   If you did not save it, you may need to get a copy from the IRS.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

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.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

 

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.

I've not amended anything. Notification from NY Dept of taxation said IRS had amended my federal income tax return and have given me a list of actions and options. None of which really make sense when I have no indication of the numbers they are even referring too.

And....you say the letter was sent to you by the state----the state would be concerned with your New York State return.  The IRS is concerned with your federal tax return.   Which return is the letter actually about?
