Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I did not save my return on the turbo tax server or my desktop. It has been filed but I cannot retrieve it through TurboTax or even the IRS. Any ideas how I can find it?

Did you use the Online version?  How to view all your accounts

It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online.

You can also request a transcript from the IRS

Did the IRS not get it?  When did you file?  Did you efile or mail it? If you efiled was it Accepted?  When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile. Check back though your emails and spam/junk folder.


When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?


How to check your efile status

If you efiled there should be an Electronic Postmark page. Probably near the end. That is your proof and signature. If you print out your return to give someone you will have to sign it in ink now.
