You can download your tax return using the Print Center and choose the option for all worksheets.

  1. Sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page
  2. Scroll down and click on Add a state. (this just gets you back in)
  3. This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.
  4. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. 
  5. Then click on Print Center
  6. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

I do not really understand how Turbo Tax database working. In order to see details of my 1040 form, I need to go to "add state" and then trying to find.... I recommend Turbo Tax programmers to make user part more user-friendly and more meaningful. I preferred TurboTax to be fast but it mostly takes more time to understand the system. I know another problem that they are providing free Self Employment app but I could not still started to use that because of complexity and errors. 

Hoping to work on your systems more so we still consider to work with you next years and so on...

Stay Well!

How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010

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
