There are limitations to the free program ... which is why they try so hard to get you to agree to the PLUS version. 

If you failed to save a PDF of the return last year when you filed then you can get a return transcript from the IRS for free :  http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

@Critter Bless you for including this. I was able to get the docs I needed from the IRS and get out of this bureaucratic nightmare.

I agree! It’s really shady for a business to do this. I’ve paid the highest package (when I didn’t have too but y’all tricked me)(google about there free program and how they scammed people out of money) but yet you still hold files for randsom  basically. Definitely a terrible company and will not do business ever again and Will personally make sure everyone I know never goes to y’all again. Pure trash!

The answer to the original question is from a very old post and not from 2019.  The dates on the question and answer were not properly transferred when this new website for the community was created.

 

With that said -

You do not need to purchase anything to get a PDF download of a prior year online tax return.

 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID 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)

 

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.

 

Go to this IRS website for the Free File Program - https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
