After I e-filed the tax returns via Turbo Tax, I accidentally deleted the returns in the Turbo Tax, how can I recover it?

Would you please clarify your question? Are you using TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop?

Was this question ever answered? I just did the same thing on my desktop -- e-filed without saving the pdf (because of a power failure). The 2020 return has been accepted by IRS. Is the work temporarily saved somewhere so I can pull it up and correctly save it? Any help is welcome! I'm a longtime TurboTax user and would like to have complete 2020 records.

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.

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