How do I look at old tax forms? When I click on the year I want to look at, nothing happens. No download. Do I need a USB port? Thanks.

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

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

 

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.

 

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

Turbotax and the IRS only keep like the last 6 or 7 years, so if you don't find them it's because they are gone permanently. you can get transcripts of those years free from the IRS but copies of the actual return cost $43 each. first check Turbotax. if you used multiple Turbotax accounts and can't remember the info to access them see this link
