How do I access my tax documents from the tax year 2017? I filed through turbo tax and cannot figure out how to access them. Do I need to pay?

I received a letter from the state of Illinois saying that I owe taxes from 2017 and I distinctly remember filing my taxes with the state of Illinois in 2017. I am trying to locate my 2017 return but cannot figure out where that would be located on this site. Anytime I open "Documents" and select "personal" it says "coming soon". I have 2 weeks now to respond and need these documents faster than soon.

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

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (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.

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

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

As DoninGa mentioned, you can access your 2017 tax return by logging in to the program using the same username and password you used to file your 2017 return.  If you do not remember what account you used you can go here to find all of your accounts.

1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Continue on the screen showing your prior-year summary. 
2. On the second screen showing product and pricing, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents.
3. Select the year you want, then select Download/Print Return (PDF).
