Can I access my TurboTax files from 2004 and 2005?

I have been audited by the Danish tax authority. They want proof that my IRA contributions were tax exempt, which I can only prove with 1040s or W-2s from the years 2000-2007. I used to use TurboTax in those years, so I'm wondering if there's any way to retrieve those files.

TurboTax only retains the online tax return for the past 7 years, the same retention period as the IRS.  Tax returns for 2004 and 2005 are no longer available.

If you used the TurboTax desktop software and saved the .tax files there is a company that, for a price, can print those tax returns (the company does not have a TurboTax recommendation).
