Did you use the Desktop CD/Download program? Then sorry, the only copy was on that computer and any backups you made.
if you used the Online version you can get a copy. How to get a copy after filing
You can request a transcript from the IRS
https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
When you use the downloaded version and you efile the return it is passed thru to the IRS on your behalf and a copy is not preserved by TT no more than the postman would keep a copy of any mail you posted.
As you go along you really need to save a copy of the return frequently as you complete the return so if something happens you don't have to start over from scratch and/or you accidentally delete something by accident. Always save to a removable storage unit as well just in case the CPU crashes.
Yes this was helpful, Thank Yoy
