I need a complete copy my 2017 tax  return including schedules. I don't have a printer so I downloaded it in my computer but I could only see page 1&2 without schedules. I received a letter from IRS that we owe them $9000+.

I just got a notice from the IRS that I owe $10, 250. for 2017.  They have some mistakes, which I hope TurboTax can fix, since I did everything through them.  Help.

@AlanG1 

You posted your question a week ago to an unrelated thread -- I happened upon your question by chance.  You have a serious issue and should have started your own new question so that someone would notice it and respond.

 

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS about your return after you have filed it, so no one at TT knows about the notice you received.  You have not given any other details about your IRS letter so it would be impossible to guess how to help.  Start your own new question and explain the letter you received.  What is the letter number or CP number?  What does the IRS say they changed or disallowed on your 2017 return?

@TriggerTazzz   You cannot have your 2018 return emailed to you.  You have to print it out for yourself.

 

PRINT RETURN   You need to print a copy of your return?  Sign in to your account using exactly the same account and user ID that you used to prepare your return.
On the bottom of the screen find Your tax returns & documents and click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

@dlewis5 

You posted to someone else's unrelated thread with your problem, which went un-noticed until just now.  There are about two dozen kinds of 1099's, and we do not know what kind you are referring to.  Did you e-file a 2017 return--and was it accepted?   When you check the status of  your 2017 return in your online account does it show that the return was accepted, rejected, or does it say "ready to mail?"

It sounds like you have heard from the IRS and must owe some tax due, so you need to sort out what happened to your 2017 tax return.  I suggest starting your own new question that explains what the IRS is saying to you.

@BettySassy    You have posted several times in a thread that is all about how to get your 2017 tax return.  Have you actually read the responses in this thread?  If you did then the answer has been here all along.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2017 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2015, 2016, or 2017 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.
