    I'll assume your 2012 return was prepared online.    A return prepared in desktop software (CD/download) will not be in an online account.

     

    I'll tell you 2 methods below to locate and access an online account.   If you don't have the same phone number or email address, then you'll likely have to use the second method known as "try something else."

     

    You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

     

    To get a list of your User IDs and recover account access, reset password, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  Try using your phone number first.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

    NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

    If still no luck after running that on your phone number and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

    Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.
