So Turbotax is holding our previous returns hostage? We have to pay to get access? Hilarious.

Bye bye Turbotax. Will never use again and will discourage as many people as possible from using.

Sorry, but you can't expect TTX to store your files for free for years.

If you download your tax returns as a PDF file EVERY YEAR, right after you file has been accepted, then you never have to worry about it. They are always available in the year you file..up until mid-October. Then Back-Them-Up off computer too. (Hundreds of people have computers crash with no backup every year...then what?)

This doesn't solve the problem of being unable to access previous year returns. It will not allow me to upgrade to view them unless I have weeks to spend waiting for the IRS.
