Your tax return cannot be sent to you.  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.

 

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 RETURN !

 

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.

Or did you prepare it in the desktop software (CD/download)?    If you used the desktop software, then you are the only one who could have a copy, such as the PDF or the *.tax2019 data file.
If that's your situation, you can download a free 2019 tax return transcript at the IRS website. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
By the way, it is not safe to send sensitive documents like a tax return in regular unsecured email.  It has too much personal info including possible bank account numbers.
