How do I access my own returns?

I filed a joint return for my wife and me.  Then, I filed a free return for my adult daughter.  Now, only my daughter's return shows up on turbotax, and I cannot access my own return.

How do I access my own returns?

If you did not set up a new separate account for your daughter, then you overwrote your joint return on TurboTax.  There is no way to get it back through TurboTax.  You can get a copy of it from the IRS but it will cost you $50.

 

You can get a transcript of the information from the IRS for free.

How do I access my own returns?

Did you use a separate account and user ID for your daughter's return?   When you use online TurboTax you get one return per fee.   If you used the same account and user ID for that second return you overwrote the first one and it is gone forever.

 

Check to see if you have a different account for your own return:

 

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.
