Can I get .2017 tax file if I submitted online? I don't have last year's file in my computer.

I used turbo tax software for 2017 and would like to import for 2018 but I don't have the file anymore. What can I do to obtain the file again?

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 prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF) or Download .tax file
