How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010

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 2022 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2022. 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.

Or request a transcript from the IRS

Or get a copy of your return using form 4506

Just to make sure...do you understand how tax years and tax returns work?   "last year" in 2022 you could have filed a tax return for 2021.  The current online software now is for tax year 2022---which people prepare and file in 2023.   In January you will be able to file a 2023 return...for tax year 2023.   So ..... if you are looking for the return you filed "last year" -- look for 2021.
