They are permanently gone. Turbotax like the IRS only keeps the last 6 years. In the future save a copy of the return as a pdf.

The IRS and TurboTax save tax returns for seven years.   Older returns are gone if you did not save them yourself.

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
