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

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

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 $50 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

No one can email you a copy of your 2018 return.  It's also not safe to send tax returns in regular unsecured email.  They contain way too much personal info and possibly bank account numbers in some cases.

 

If you used Online TurboTax last year, log in, and at the Tax Home scroll down to "Your Tax Returns & Documents."   Expand that section and choose tax year 2018.  Then look for a link "Download/print the PDF".

 

If you're not able to find the 2018 online return in that account, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.
