How do I get a copy of my 2017 return?

My computer crashed. I would like turbotax to access my 2017 return while working on the 2018 return.

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.

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

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

You can also get free transcripts of your federal return from the IRS - http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
