I haven't filed in a couple of years. Can you help pull tax records?

TurboTax doesn't have your tax records, or access to your tax records. It would only have copies of tax returns that you filed with TurboTax Online, but if you didn't file, TurboTax doesn't have any records.

What tax records do you need to "pull"? Are you saying that you don't have your W-2s and 1099s for the years that you haven't filed? If you need W-2s or 1099s, you have to get them from the companies that issued them.

You can get a free Wage and Income Transcript from the IRS that will have most of the information from your W-2s and 1099s, but it will not have the state information. You need a separate transcript for each year. The transcript has the information from the W-2s and 1099s, but it's not in the format of the actual forms. You can get the transcripts at the following link, but the IRS transcript service is down for maintenance until Tuesday morning. You need a Wage and Income Transcript for each year, not a Tax Return Transcript and not a Tax Account Transcript.

If you live in a state that does not have income tax, the Wage and Income Transcripts from the IRS will have all the information you need. If you need the state information, and you can't get copies of your W-2s from the employers, you can get copies from the Social Security Administration. It costs $37 for each W-2. See the FAQ at the following link on the SSA web site for instructions to get copies of your W-2s.
