Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

I'm looking for my 2015 Tax Returns. I did my mom's and mine with the software, but apparently it only saved a copy of my mom's to the computer. Hoping you can help me.

When you use Turbotax Online version you can prepare only one tax return per account.If you did your return first and then did your mother's return in the same account, then the information that you entered for your mother overwrote and replaced your information. If that is what you did then you destroyed your information, it is gone forever and there is no way to get it back.
for future reference:
When you use Turbotax Online version, you can prepare only one return per account/payment. This Turbotax help topic tells you how to start another return:

That is a fundamental difference between the Turbotax Online version, which you access through a web browser, and the CD/Desktop version which installs and runs on your home computer.
With the CD/Desktop version, you can prepare as many returns as you wish just for the price of the box.
