if you didn't keep a copy then you are out of luck. Neither Turbotax nor the IRS maintain tax returns going back that far. However, the Social Security Adm would have copies of any W-2's (not a complete 1040) you received for that year. But there is a fee.

Sorry. TurboTax and the IRS keep tax returns for seven years. If you did not save a copy for yourself then you are--as stated above--out of luck. Going forward---save your own records and make copies of your tax returns.
