I've used turbotax in the past. Ive had to open new accounts due to not remembering my sign on credentials, so my past tax returns are not on my new active account. Is there a way to consolidate all my past tax returns to my current account or are they gone due to change in account.
No, you cannot merge multiple accounts. But you can recover access to your other accounts and retrieve your returns. Once you get into the accounts, if access to the prior returns is locked, and if you used a paid edition for 2018 (PLUS or higher), you can phone TurboTax Support and ask them to unlock the returns. Then you should download them while you can and archive them safely and securely, or they will ultimately be locked again at some point.
Here's how to find and gain access to your other accounts.
You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same
email address for notification purposes. A User ID may be an email
address, but it doesn't have to be. It might be only part of an email
address, or it can be anything at all.
This is why it is sooooo important to save a PDF(or paper copy) of the return for your records so you always have access to a copy.
