How can I find My 2017 S-corp return that is not showing up in my turbo tax account? I am not where I can access the hard copy. Any suggestions on how to find it?

It would only be on your hard drive or any backup that you made.

Look for a .tax2017 file.

You are posting your question to someone else's thread that was about a Business return that was prepared using desktop software that can only be used on a Windows computer.  We do not know what you prepared or what software you used, since you have not said.

 

If you, in fact,  used desktop software:

 

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.  They are not stored online.  If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $50, an actual copy of the return.

Contact your state for copies of previous state returns.
