if your parents prepared their return after yours using the same account your return is permanently gone.  an account is only good for 1 return -the last one prepared.  an e-mail address can be used on up to 5 accounts.  if you are looking for your 2018 adjusted gross income so you can efile 2019, then you may be able to register at the IRS website to get a transcript of your '18 return which will have the AGI number
