I need copies of my 2015, 2016, 2017 state taxes so that I can file. Can I just pay to upgrade so that I can have access to those years to print and file?

"need copies of my 2015, 2016, 2017 state taxes so that I can file"  You need to file just state return for those years?

I need to print copies of these years to submit to my lawyers for Ch 13 bankruptcy and/or file them, but definitely give them copies. I believe I do have to file them. But I need to also give copies of. They may be included in the bankruptcy

So by doing this, I should have access to the prior year taxes and if I need to file those years, would I be able to do so if needed?

If you had completed  the return and it was ready to mail then the PDF will have that copy of the return ... also look at the filing status of those returns ... did you file them ?

To access a prior year online tax return and you did not use TurboTax for the 2017 tax return or you did not pay for one of the 2017 online editions of either Plus, Deluxe, Premier or Self-Employed, you will need to start a 2018 Free online tax return and then Upgrade and pay for the Plus edition ($19.99).  You do not have to file the 2018 tax return only pay for the upgrade.

Go to this TurboTax website for the 2018 online editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

You have to sign onto the 2018 account using the exact same User ID you used to create the prior year online tax return.  Enter your personal information in the 2018 Free edition. On the left side of the screen click on Upgrade.  Scroll down and select PLUS More Help & Tools.  Click on Upgrade Now (if Plus is grayed out then you are already using Plus and only need to pay for the upgrade)

To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit card so you can access your prior year online tax returns, 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.  On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Pay Now.  On the next screen just click on the Continue button.  The next screen will show a review of your Fees, click on Continue.  Complete the next screen to pay by credit card and click Continue.
