How do i access my last years tax return through turbo tax if i didn't fully complete my return for that year? My tax information is still in the system but cant find it.

When completing my 2021 return I saw a notification stating turbo tax could import my 2020 AGI but I could not view it.

I realized that if I scroll to the bottom of the page it has information regarding previous year tax return information.

If you did not file your 2020 return the IRS does not have a 2020 AGI in the system for you, so entering your 2020 AGI will be useless.   Use zero and see if it will let you e-file 2021 with zero instead.

 

As for the unfinished 2020 return---you could still file it:

 

You will be able to access the return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.

 

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2020 returns is now permanently closed.  Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2020 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

They are available from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Pacific time Monday-Friday.

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

 

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the rig
