Your question was answered 10 minutes ago on your prior post.  We do not have access to your tax records so you have to find out if you filed a tax return -

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.

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

Looking for taxes for 2020.

Didn't the answer above work for you?

How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/270...

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.

Or request a transcript from the IRS

[judy moore]

so there are no 2020 tax records you have?

@judy moore No one else has access to your account or your tax returns.   You have to access your own account using the the account and user ID that were used when you prepared your return.

@judy moore   It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online.

It is complete.  I just need to file it but I can't find it.

[xmasbaby0]

@totaleapofaith If you are asking about a 2020 return, you are going to have to file it by mail.   E-filing is closed for 2020 returns.  And you have to pay your TurboTax fees in order to print it.  If you forget how to access the account, use the recovery tool:

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

How can I get my tax documents?

[xmasbaby0]

@LeedrickT By tax "documents" do you mean your tax return---or something else?   What are you trying to find?

  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.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

If by "documents"  you mean W-2's 1099's etc.----TurboTax does not have copies of those.   The pdf of your tax return includes worksheets with the data you entered, but there are no copies of the actual tax documents like W-2's etc.
