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 https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010
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.
