If you haven't paid or filed yet, you can view, edit, print, or e-file your 2018 TurboTax Online return through October 15, 2019 (after which we close e-filing for the 2018 tax season).

To get a copy of your 2018 tax return that you filed this year, sign back in to your account and see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information:

Download the pdf then you can print the pages you want and however many copies you need.  You should always save both the pdf file and .tax2018 files before online closes each October.   Or you might not be able to get a copy when you need it.

 

How to save the PDF

You can (and should) preview your return.

Click on TAX TOOLS on the Left side. (You might have to find the scroll bar on the edge of the left column to get to it)
(and you might have to click a little to the left of "Tax Tools" to make it expand)

Then click on TOOLS
Then View Tax Summary (first link in the Tools Center box)
Then Preview My 1040 on the Left side again

Then Click Back near the top of your screen to exit the preview screen. If you want to see all the forms you have to pay the fees first.

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)

 

You can also get free transcripts of your federal return from the IRS - http://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

 

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.

 

You will not be able to upgrade to the Plus edition for tax year 2018 since the TurboTax online editions for 2018 have closed to make way for the 2019 online editions.  Once the 2019 online editions become available in December, at that time you can start a 2019 return and upgrade to Plus.

 

Or contact TurboTax support during business hours and see if there are any other options available for accessing a prior year online tax return.

Support is open from 5am to 5pm Pacific time, Monday thru Friday
