Did you use desktop software or online software?  If it was online software did you use a different account and user ID for your friend?

It is showing you are using the Online version, with the Online version you can only prepare a return for one person or joint return per account.  To prepare another return for someone else you need to create a new account (UserID & Password).  If you did use the Online version than your return has overwritten your friends return & you cannot get it back.

If you used the Desktop version, your friends return is on your computer.  Open the TurboTax software, choose File, then Open, select his return.
