Attached: It is January, right after signing Turbotax account, it brings me to 2022 tax return information.

I did not find a way to access previous year tax return. I am planning to switch to desktop software this year, but would like to download 2021 data first.

Thanks.

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents. Click on the Year and Click on Download .tax file

@DoninGA Of course I use the same userID to sign in. From the screenshot, there is no Your tax returns & documents

The system brings me straight to 2022 tax questions.

Its ridiculous BUT.....YOU HAVE TO go thru a number of pages starting the 2022 Q&A in the main screen before the Tax Home selection shows up on the left side. (one person indicated about 12 pages of questions)

It's been the same thing for the past couple years....dumb, but it is what it is.
