How can I find my 1040s?

  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.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

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.

How can I find my 1040s?

Do you mean a 1040-SR?

 

TurboTax does support the 1040-SR

  • Form 1040-SR is available as an optional alternative to using Form 1040 for 
  • taxpayers who are age 65 or older. 
  • Form 1040-SR uses the same schedules and instructions as Form 1040 does.

TurboTax also has software to file an S-Corp 1120-S, but it is not in the personal Tax Return
