I'd like to access the depreciation worksheets from a previous tax return filed w/ TurboTax Online, where can I find them?

[subrebost2020]

When previous years tax returns are downloaded, none of the worksheets are shown.

First of all, there are only two (one if you only count the relevant one).

The schedule (Report) should be in your PDF if you download all of the forms and worksheets.

[subrebost2020]

Unfortunately when you select previous years and select 'Download/print return (PDF)', the resulting PDF is only the submitted tax return to the IRS and it doesn't include any worksheets.  There is no dropdown menu to select with worksheets.

Do you have separate records or anything similar?

The report in TurboTax (at least the worksheet that prints out with the PDF) only shows the current year depreciation (that you can get from Schedule E or C) and accumulated depreciation; there's no schedule.

[subrebost2020]

Thanks, I'll see what I can find.  The values shown on line 18 of Schedule E don't seem correct.

This question has been answered many times by TT Experts in an unclear, out-of-date, and in some cases misleading way. They either direct users to download their tax return (which doesn't include the relevant schedule) or to navigate to Tax Home and click "Add a state" (this button doesn't exist in the current UI). 

If you have paid for TT in the current tax cycle and have not yet submitted your taxes, then I suspect you might be able to navigate from tax home --> edit your current return --> print center and be done. I'm not sure if TT is trying to confuse users by withholding this info since it's a key step in moving away from TT, but in any other situation (in my case, I don't plan to pay for TT in the current cycle) you need to do some clearly unintended behavior. 

As of March 2024, to find it:

1. Navigate to "Tax Home"

2. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Your tax returns & documents" to expand the options

3. For the year you're interested in, click "Amend (change) XXXX return." XXXX represents the year in question

4. Confirm by clicking "Amend using TurboTax Online"

5. On the next screen, look to the tool bar on the left side of the window. There should be an option for "Tax Tools." Click this to expand options, then click "Print Center"

6. Click "Print, save or preview this year's return"

7. Select the checkbox for Federal return (and any other return you want to save), plus the option to "Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional)"

Once you save and open the pdf, you should be able to control+find the depreciation table

If you haven't actually filed the current tax year (2023) at all, you can open the return interview back up, make 

any changes if needed, and when ready, file the return.    If when you log in, does TurboTax think you were finished, so your return interview is closed?  If so, the steps below tell you how to open it back up to edit your return.

• Log into your account, and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2023, look for a link "Add a State."
• Click on "Add a State."  (That doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return.)
• Once the return is open, if needed you can make any changes in your return you need to, since it has not been filed.
• When finished making your changes, go through the REVIEW section to be sure everything is in order.
• Then go to the FILE section,  choose your filing method, and continue answering the screens there.
• If efiling (recommended), be sure to go all the way to the final screen and click a big orange button "Transmit Returns Now."

If you have filed your current year  federal tax return and it has been accepted by the IRS ... to access the filed return PDFs : 

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2023 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option you wish to save ... I highly recommend you save the return with and without the worksheets. 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

IF YOU NEED TO AMEND THE 2023 RETURN ... first save a PDF of the return then follow the instructions here:

If you e-filed the 2023 tax return it will be Pending until the IRS starts accepting tax returns later in January.  Until then you cannot change anything on the return that was filed, nor can you amend the 2023 return since it has not been accepted by the IRS.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
