How do I access prior year returns?

When I type in "Turbotax.com" I only get this year, and what I can buy now!
I want prior returns.

To see your prior year returns, you must log in to the account that you used to prepare the return.

Start a 2021 tax return using the User ID for the 2020 online tax return.  Once your personal information is entered the prior year tax returns will be available on the Tax Home web page.

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/

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.

How do I access a prior-year return?

Here's how to view and download your prior-year returns. You can access returns for the past seven years.

First time signing in this year

1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and continue through your prior year summary (EVEN IF YOU WILL NOT USE THE TT PROGRAM FOR THE 2021 RETURN).  Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (user ID) as in prior years.
2. On the next screen, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents.
3. Select the year you want, then select Download/print return (PDF).
• If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts.

If you've started your return already

Sign in to your TurboTax account. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in prior years.

There are two ways to get your prior-year returns.

1. Select Documents from the side menu, use the drop-down menu to choose the tax year you want, and select Download tax PDF.
2. From Tax Home, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents. Select the year you want and select Download/print return (PDF).

Note: If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for
