How can I obtain a copy of my 2017 tax return?

[mesquitebean]

Was the 2017 return prepared in Online TurboTax or desktop software (CD/download)?

If prepared online, have you located it in your account, and if so, when you click to "download/print the PDF", does it ask you to pay to access?

If so, the method to unlock it depends on what all you have done in regard to a 2018 return.   What is the story on your 2018 return?  Have you already filed a 2018 online TurboTax return, or is one in preparation?    What edition?

If you don't find evidence at all of a 2017 return you prepared online, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

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.

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $50 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
