You would have to download the whole pdf file. How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/270...
If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2022 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2022. I had to go though about 12 screens.
If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
Or request a transcript from the IRS

Or get a copy of your return using form 4506

Thanks for your quick reply! I’ll check it out
I want to see the different items I submitted like my income breakdown and things like that. Not my entire pdf
@soberbeacon You will need to look at the worksheets that are part of the pdf of your return. TurboTax does not have copies or images of the income documents that you entered. TT only has the information that you entered, which will be on the worksheets.
I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2 (or 1099)
TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s). You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $126).
To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501
If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.
You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS: It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received. It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Or you can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

There are over a dozen kinds of 1099's. A 1099NEC is typically issued by an individual or business for whom you performed work as an independent contractor, so seek a copy from them if you did not save yours. Many of the other types of 1099's are issued by banks, brokerages and other financial institutions from which you can seek copies.
I have all of my copies but want to validate them with what turbo tax is showing. I feel there is an error due to the IRS letter received 😔
Like it or not, you will need to look through the pdf of your return.
What does the IRS letter say? Are you married? You may have entered a W2 or 1099 under the wrong person. Or if you got a 1099R it got entered on the wrong line. What exactly are you trying to see? We can probably help. What's wrong with your income?
