    When you began the process to amend the return did you follow the directions that told you to save the original return as a pdf?  If you did not do that, then the amended return replaced the original and the original is gone.

     

    If you saved it, it should be in the account with the amended return.  Do you know how to access the account?

     

      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.

    SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

     

    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.

    Why do you want the original, unamended, tax return for the FAFSA? The FAFSA wants you to enter the correct tax information from your amended return, not the incorrect information from the original tax return that you had to amend. See the following link on the FAFSA help web site.
