How do I get last year's returns without paying for this year?

You don't have to pay for this year.  Just start a 2019 account with some basic info.  You need to register a 2019 online account to access prior years

That is not true.  My 2018 federal and state returns were rejected, i was not notified.  now it appears i have to pay for 2019 deluxe in advance to download a copy of my 2018 rejected "deluxe"  returns  regardless of already paying that fee.
