I used TurboTax online to file my 2022 return, but I can no longer see the return online. Where can I access all the forms for the 2022 return on TurboTax.com?

  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 2024 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.

I greatly appreciate the information shared. Unfortunately it doesn't resolve my issue. To clarify why I want to access that return on TurboTax - I do have a copy of the tax return, but I was hoping to view the worksheets, etc. for some areas where I need more information to help me file an amendment.

 

I have only a single TurboTax/Intuit account that I have been using for many years. A while back I filed my returns on TurboTax.com for several years, but then switched to the desktop version for several years, with the exception of 2022 when my MacOS no longer met the minimum system requirement for TurboTax. So, I filed my tax return online in 2022 and I resumed filing returns using the desktop version in 2023.

 

I used to be able to access the 2022 return online and on the mobile app for a while. But when I tried to access it this year after a long break, I was unable to do so. When I login online I am prompted to provide information about my tax situation to help me choose which product I should purchase and that's where I get stuck. I see no place where I can view the 2022 return that I filed with TurboTax.com. Per the documentation, TurboTax retains all returns for 7 years so it's odd that I cannot access my return.

You ignored an important instruction in the reply above--which is why you are having trouble getting to your return:

 

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

 

You only have to enter enough personal information to get the side menu to open up and let you access your past year return.
