How did you do his 2023 return? You need your 2023 AGI to efile 2024. The AGI is on 2023 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

If you didn't file 2023 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.

YES I NEED THE 2023 TAX RETURN TO GET THE AGI TO PROCESS THE 2024 RETURN, THAT'S THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT I SAVED THE RETURN FRO 2023, HOWEVER, I CANNOT LOCATE THE RETURN. DOES TURBOTAX STORE TAX RETURN DATA FOR PRIOR YEARS?

Yes if you used the Online version. In the Desktop program you have to save it yourself on your computer.

How to Access prior year online returns

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
