We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

 

Your profile shows you are working in TurboTax Online. If that's true, you can't retrieve a 2001 tax return through TurboTax Online, because it is a closed year.

 

A closed year is a year that is no longer subject to audit, assuming the original return was filed on time and there is no criminal activity.

 

At any given time, there is a current year (2023) and three open years (2020, 2021 and 2022).

 

If you didn't keep a copy of your 2001 tax return, you can get one from the IRS. Follow this link to get started.

If you have a .tax or .tax20xx file you need that year's Desktop program installed to open it.

 

Turbo Tax doesn't have programs older than 3 years.  You might be able to find one on Ebay or Amazon or somewhere but you wouldn't be able to update it or download the state program.

 

You could try the TaxPrinter service (not connected with Turbo Tax) to convert a .tax file to pdf at

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth.
