Do you need a copy or need to prepare and file them?

 

How to access prior online returns

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010

 

You have to log in to the same account.   You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.

 

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online.

 

You can also request a transcript from the IRS

The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2021

 

To complete and file a 2018 and 219 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.  Use separate envelopes when mailing multiple tax years.  Use a tracking service from the US Post Office when mailing so that you will know the tax returns were received by the IRS.
