Can I find the worksheet data for a prior-year return? I don't want to file a prior-year return, I want to examine the data I submitted for a prior-year return.

If you log in to your TurboTax account and navigate to the year you want to view and then click 'Download/Print Return (PDF)' the worksheets will be included there.

This doesn't work if you used the free edition to prepare the return.

Robert,

Thank you for the reply.

I had tried what you suggested and it didn't work. I was using an on-line version which did not allow me to review the current year's tax forms, the interim data, the worksheets; or to access any of this from the previous year; and this is true before and after I submitted. Checking my progress was thus beyond difficult: it was impossible because it was not allowed. As a result, I had no clear way of knowing the actual progress of my actual return.

Bottom line: disappointed in the Turbo Tax features; and as I began, but gratified to read your reply.

Did you use the Desktop installed program before?  The Desktop program has a Forms Mode and several other features and advantages over the Online version.

Volvo Girl,

Neat name and thank you for the prompt reply!

Yes, I have used the desktop version and it had those features. I'm surprised they're completely unaccessible in the on-line version.

I hope the good people at Intuit will intuit the need to add these to the on-line version -- or risk hacking off people completing their taxes with suboptimal in-process knowledge.

Again, though, thank you for the reply.
