Not able to find a resolution for this. "My TurboTax" is not present, there are no dropdown. The only options I have is Intuit Account, Search, Help selection, or a Continue button to file this years returns. I tried the help button and it gives me the same answers. It won't allow me to speak to someone in particular without starting this years tax returns.

Very disappointed and frustrated with TurboTax, as I've ran into a similar situation last year. Not having any options or work arounds or the ability to talk to someone is not acceptable. Makes me really consider using someone else.

You have to sign onto your 2019 online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your 2019 account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

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.

To access your prior year 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 bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

OR -

You may have to start a 2020 tax return before the links on the Tax Home web page become available.  In that case start the 2020 tax return with the User ID you used for the 2019 return.  Once some basic information has been transferred over, Tax Home should be visible on the left column.  Click on Tax Home and then the other links will be shown as in this screenshot.

TurboTax and the IRS only retain tax returns for the last 7 years.

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

@billymorningstar Do you mean you want copies of tax returns that you filed for those years or that you want the blank forms to prepare tax returns for those years?  Your question is not clear.

If you are asking for copies of returns---the IRS and TurboTa save returns for 7 years, so you will not be able to recover a return older than that.  You can use the account recovery tool to find returns that you prepared using TurboTax within the time that they are still on record.

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.

If you mean that you want tax forms to prepare:

You can go on the IRS site to find forms for 2011.   Do be aware that you are too late to receive a tax refund for any of those tax years, but if you owe tax ---the IRS still wants to be paid.   Any tax refund for tax years earlier than 2017 has been forfeited now.

Form1040EZ Instructions  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040ez.pdf

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.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
