How do I access my tax return from 2006?

[SweetieJean]

See the following TurboTax support FAQ on accessing a copy of a 2014 or earlier return completed using the online editions -https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900748-how-do-i-get-a-copy-of-a-return-i-filed-in-turbotax-online

Once the PDF has been downloaded to your computer, you can view or print the return with any PDF compatible viewer, such as Adobe Reader.

You have to sign onto your TurboTax online account with the exact same userid and password you used to create the account.

If you may have forgotten some of your login information, see the following TurboTax support FAQ -https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901535-forgot-your-turbotax-user-id-or-password

Or you may have multiple accounts, see this - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901486-problems-associated-with-multiple-turbotax-accounts

If you receive a message that your tax return is Locked or that you need to pay for the account, see this TurboTax support FAQ - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2926523

If you still cannot access your account, you can contact TurboTax customer service/support through their contact website during business hours.

Use the following TurboTax website to contact TurboTax customer service/support.  Submit your question/problem during business hours and then use the option for Call (a phone number will be provided for Call) to speak directly with a TurboTax agent -

https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/ 

Note:  The Call option will not be available when TurboTax Support is closed.

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 can also get free transcripts of your federal return from the IRS - http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

Hello,

I've been using Turbotax since at least 2006, I can see past tax documents under "Your tax returns & documents" starting in 2011 but nothing before that. Is there anyway I can access my prior tax returns?

Thanks

@darkvalk The IRS and TurboTax save tax returns for seven years.  If you did not save copies of the returns from before seven years ago, they are gone.  Sorry.

To access your past account(s):

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.

Neither TT or the IRS have records older than 7 years ... what do you need a 2006 return for ?
