How do I view my completed 2018 return on Turbo Tax?

[GiseleD]

If you filed in TurboTax Online last year, here's the original article on how to print it, or you can read below:

Before starting, make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as previous years.

You'll get access to your prior year returns through Your tax returns & documents in Tax Home.

If you don't already have access and you’re planning on filing with TurboTax this year, you can register or pay first and then go back to work on your taxes later.

To access:

1. If you haven't chosen yet, pick the product that is right for you (if you aren’t sure, select TurboTax Free Edition) when starting.
2. Follow the screens and provide some personal info.
3. When you've reached the Personal info summary screen, select Continue.
4. Select File in the left menu (this is just a step in order to register or pay, you won’t actually be filing).
5. Continue until you get to Review your order and select Start.
6. Select View payment options.
7. Register or pay for TurboTax, depending on which version you're using.
8. Go to Tax Home in the left menu.
9. Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).

If your 2018 returns were prepared in Online TurboTax, log into your account and at the Tax Home scroll down and expand the section "Your Tax  Returns & Documents".  Choose tax year 2018, and then click "Download/print the PDF" or if you just need the 2018 AGI, there is a link "View adjusted gross income (AGI.)"  If you can't find your 2018 return there, then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.   Many people end up with multiple accounts without realizing it.   Here's how to troubleshoot for multiple accounts (User IDs) :

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

To get a list of your User IDs and recover account access, you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

What does that mean??   Are you needing to amend a 2018 return; i.e., are you wanting to download your *.tax2018 data file so you can prepare an amended return?    Or are you wanting to know how to download your 2018 return PDF so you can view an amended return you prepared last year; i.e., are you just wanting a copy of a 2018 amended return you prepared last year?
