How do I get a copy of my 2016 return?

[mesquitebean]

Here's how to get a copy of a 2016 return after filing.   NOTE:  If you see no evidence of your 2016 return in the Tax Timeline, then you likely have multiple accounts, and we can help you troubleshoot that.

• Log in and go to the 2016 Tax Timeline.
• Scroll to the section "Some things you can do."
• Select the link "Download/print the PDF" which is a basic version.
• There is also a link "Download all forms and worksheets" which is a larger PDF with the return plus calculation worksheets and additional forms.

NOTE:  Remember all downloaded PDF tax documents and data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
