Can i get some help accessing my 2024 federal return? I can't find that option. Any help, please?

HI!  If you have already efiled your 2024 tax return, you can navigate to your home page and scroll down to where you see the years you have filed returns with Turbo Tax.  You should see an option to download a PDF of your return.

If you have not efiled your return, you will need to go through the review and check out process to access a PDF of your return.  You will be able to do this before you efile.

You may also log in to your Turbo Tax Online account (on your mobile phone or computer) and reach out to an expert via chat to assist you.  The expert will be able to convert your chat to a voice call to better assist you.

I hope this helps!

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
