Question

I need my 2018 tax return in order to file my 2019 tax return, but there is no navigation bar, thus no "Documents" tab to get it. How do I get the return without this?

It seems like there's a glitch in my old account where my 2018 tax return was filed (since my wife is working on filing us jointly using her account for 2019).  She has the Documents tab, but I don't have anything.  I need my 2018 return in order to file 2019, per an alert that fired when she tried to file for us.

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID 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)

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

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.
