How do I access a prior year return?

You’ll need to register first if you don’t already have access to your prior year returns under Your tax returns & documents as you sign in to TurboTax.

 

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

 

To access:

  1. Choose TurboTax Free Edition when starting if you haven't already done so.
  2. Follow the screens and provide some personal info. 
  3. When you’ve reached the Personal info summary screen, select Continue.
  4. Then, select File in the left-hand menu (this is just a step in order to register, you won’t actually be filing).
  5. Continue until you get to Review your order and select Start.
  6. Select View payment options.
  7. Then continue until you get to the registration screen.
  8. Enter your info and select Register, then Continue.
  9. Go to Tax Home in the left-hand menu.
  10. Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).

What can you do ? 

 

If you are required to file a 2019 return :

 

1) file the 2019 return asap

2) wait for the IRS portal to open later this month to update your DD info.

3) if your address is incorrect on the 2018 return then mail in a form 8822 asap

 

If you are NOT required to file a 2019 return and you are NOT receiving SS benefits :

 

You can register for the stimulus check using this TT option : https://turbotax.intuit.com/stimulus-check/
