You need the exact account and user ID that were used in order to access those returns.  Are you the one who prepared the returns---or was your spouse the one who prepared them?   If your spouse prepared them then you are not going to be able to get to them without the account and user ID.  Your attorney might have to help.

 

If you prepared them use the recovery tool to find them:

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
