How do I download a copy of a previous year's tax return (specifically , 2020) filed with TurboTax for a FAFSA?

My daughter is trying to go to college and needs my 2020 tax information for the FAFSA.  I used TurboTax to file that year. How do I download a copy of that from TurboTax?  You think that would be a relatively easy process, but try typing that question in on the start page and see if you go to it (you won't)

See https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

 

I believe you can use a free transcript for this purpose. @Hal_Al ?

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Start a 2022 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

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.
