Finding my 2021 files after computer crashed

E-filed my Federal and Oregon State Taxes.  Have received the refunds.  However, when I filed them, I got a message that the state forms were not ready to print.  

 

My computer crashed and I lost virtually everything.  Need a copy of the state forms for my files and to get the estimated taxes for 2022 forms.  

 

Have tried logging into Intuit/Turbo Tax and it finds my account but has no record of my 2021 returns.  Keeps telling me to log into the account that I used to do my taxes but I just keep going in circles.

    sorry. if you used the desktop software. Turbotax does not have a copy.

    if you used online your computer crash should have no affect

    Thanks Mike.  I downloaded the software from a Costco link.  I have given up and written a letter to the state asking for a copy of my return.  Learned a serious lesson -- will buy the CD for Turbo Tax next year.
