I Need a Copy of My 2020 Tax Return

Hello! Please help! I need a copy of my 2020 Tax Return that I submitted through TurboTax earlier this year. When I go to my profile in TurboTax and click "download return" it gives me instructions of how to submit a return even though my federal and state returns have been accepted already. 

 

All I need is a copy of my 2020 Tax Return for my records. How can I obtain one? I don't want to go through the IRS because I've paid TurboTax for a service. I've used you before and it's been great! And yes, I've tried using multiple browsers, different computers (Mac and PC), and nothing is working.

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

     

    When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

    This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

    Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

    @erskpar3  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.

    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.

    Please I need a copy of my 2020 Federal & State tax return. I was unable to download my retunds  

    May 6, 2021

    Go here to find a prior year return and go here to find last year's AGI.

    To get a copy of your 2020 tax return that you filed this year, sign in to the account you used to file this year's taxes and either:

    • Select Download/print return if your return has been accepted.
    • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents (select Show if needed) and select Download/print return (PDF).

    TurboTax_79GIFprintThisYearTY2020_001.gif

    If you don't see your 2020 return:

    • You might be in the wrong account. Use our account recovery tool to check to see if you have other accounts.
    • You might not have filed your taxes yet. If you see options like My Info, Federal, State, Review, and File in the left menu, you haven't filed your taxes yet. Select File to do so. You'll be able to print a copy of your return when you file them.

    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.

    Unfortunately, TurboTax does not have the ability to print and mail your tax return to you.  Many customers are able to print inexpensively at their local libraries.  Office supply stores also often have public printers available for use.

    I need to know the status of my 2020 tax return,was it a successful electronic filing?

    Employee

    @5115farmcreekrd

     

    Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

     

    When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

     

    First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

    If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

    https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

      Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

     

    Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
