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

     

    Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

     

    See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

     

    If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

                             

    Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

     

    For a fee of $50 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

    1)  IF..If you used the desktop software, those files are only on your own computer, or any backups you made after you filed.

     

    2)  IF you used the "Online" software, then you have to log into the "exact-same" Online tax account you used to file those tax returns: a) make sure you are in the Tax Home section, then b) scroll down the page to expand "Your tax returns & documents"  then c)  select the year you want to display the files to download for that year.

     

    (Note: if you use the "Free" version for those years, I don't know if TTX has saved them that far back since TTX only recently started saving some tax files for "Free" software users. )
