Are you trying to print/download your 2018 return? 

 

If you filed in TurboTax Online last year, here's the original article on how to print/download it, or you can read below:

 

Before starting, make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as previous years.

 

You'll get access to your prior year returns through Your tax returns & documents in Tax Home.

If you don't already have access and you’re planning on filing with TurboTax this year, you can register or pay first and then go back to work on your taxes later.

 

To access:

  1. If you haven't chosen yet, pick the product that is right for you (if you aren’t sure, select TurboTax Free Edition) when starting.
  2. Follow the screens and provide some personal info.
  3. When you've reached the Personal info summary screen, select Continue.
  4. Select File in the left menu (this is just a step in order to register or pay, you won’t actually be filing).
  5. Continue until you get to Review your order and select Start.
  6. Select View payment options.
  7. Register or pay for TurboTax, depending on which version you're using.
  8. Go to Tax Home in the left menu.
  9. Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).

If you haven't yet filed your 2018 tax return, you canNOT do that with Turbotax online.  You can only file current year (2019) online.

 

You can still prepare 2016-2018 returns with TT download software.  You cannot e-file, but must print and mail. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

You can get  free forms (for mailing) from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/prior-year
