I filed my 2018 taxes with turbo tax, but when I go back to the site it say it can't be found. How can I find out if it was actually filed or not?

I have opened my Turbo Tax and it does not contain my return. I need a copy. What is the best way to find it?

Please explain what that means. First of all, are you referring to a 2018 return? What product are you using for 2018--Online TurboTax or the desktop software (CD/download)? Have you already finished and filed your 2018 return?

If you used Online TurboTax, here's how to get the PDF. Log in and go to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents". Expand that section, if necessary, and choose tax year 2018. Are you not able to find a link to "download/print the PDF?"

If you used Online TurboTax, but see no evidence of your 2018 online return in that account, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.

Or if you are using desktop software (CD/download), are you saying you cannot locate the *.tax2018 data file?

TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099. It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered. The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.

Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.

For a 2018 tax return -

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. See screenshot

This will take you back to the 2018 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Then click on Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501
