Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

If none of the user ID's received will access your account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

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

I am trying to download previous years tax returns. I have a new phone number. I don't remember my password. I am frustrated and need help

[Critter]

Forgot your TurboTax Online User ID or password?

Try these steps to recover your User ID or password:

1. Go to our account recovery page.
2. Enter one of the following:
   • Phone number (recommended)
   • Email address
   • User ID
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once you’re done, we’ll either send you a code to help you recover your account, or show/send you a list of accounts associated with your info.

• If you’re still unable to recover your account, select Try something else on the Account Recovery page. We’ll ask additional questions to verify your identity.

Keep in mind: Once you’re back in your account, make sure to include or update your phone number. Doing so helps increase account security and ease account recovery.

I need a copy of my 2019 Federal Tax return. I sign into my account but it says that no documents are found. I have a saved web-receipt with an Order No., Order Date, and payment method confirming the preparation and electronic filing of my 2019 Federal Tax Return. 

So where is it, and how do I get to it?

I called the 800 number (which is the single WORST phone system in the entire history of bad phone systems) where I provided my support number. The automated system then says "before I connect you to a specialist, I need more information...". Every answer is ignored, the process loops 4 or 5 more times, then say Thank you  and hangs up.

OR -

You may have to start a 2020 tax return before the links on the Tax Home web page become available.  In that case start the 2020 tax return with the User ID you used for the 2019 return.  Once some basic information has been transferred over, Tax Home should be visible on the left column.  Click on Tax Home and then the other links will be shown as in this screenshot.

If you do not see your 2019 tax return data, it might be in a different TurboTax account. Go here to see how many accounts you may have, one of them should have the return you're looking for.
