I Need a Copy of My 2020 Tax Return

Will you send me a copy of my 2020 income tax. It was done by turbotax and the IRS sent me a letter saying I owe them more money.

This answer assumes your 2020 return was prepared in Online TurboTax.  I've posted below how to normally get it, and also how to look for multiple accounts, if necessary.    Any return prepared in desktop software will not be in an online account.

 

First see this:

FAQ:  How do I access my prior year return?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

Log in and go to the Tax Home.  Scroll down the Tax Home page to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."  Expand that section and choose the tax year 2020.   Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF", or if you just need the 2020 AGI, then once you choose 2020 there should be a link to "View adjusted gross income (AGI.)"

 

If you do all that, but there's no evidence of prior returns in that section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.    Many people end up with multiple accounts.

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

 

If all that is unsuccessful, you could phone TurboTax Support to see if they can help you find the account with your 2020 return.   Or you can get a 2020 tax return transcript through an online IRS account, if you have one or are able to set up an IRS account.

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

It's also possible to order a transcript to come by postal mail.

A copy of the actual return from the IRS costs $43 and takes several weeks.

You didn't describe the printing problem you're having.  What/where is the roadblock when you try to print it?   Was it prepared in Online TurboTax or the desktop software (CD/download)?   Do you have the PDF of the return?

 

And the 2020 AGI is not on Line 20.  The 2020 AGI is on the 2020 Form 1040, Line 11.

This is a public Internet forum.  For your privacy and security, don't post any personal info in the user community forum.  No one here can provide you the copy, but we can tell you how to get it.

 

You didn't say what product you used last year and this year, so I'll assume it's Online TurboTax.  If you used 2020 desktop software last year, then the rest of this answer below won't apply.

 

If you used Online TurboTax, and if there's no evidence of the 2020 return in that same account when you go to the Tax Home , scroll down and expand "Your Tax Returns & Documents", and select tax year 2020, then you may have multiple accounts.   I'll tell you how to find other accounts you might have to find the 2020 return.

 

If there's no evidence of the 2020 return in that section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts and are preparing your 2021 return in a different account.    Many people end up with multiple accounts.

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.
