To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

You have to make sure you are using the same login information that was used when preparing those past years' returns.  If you have created multiple accounts, you need to use the account information for the year you need.  Just in case you have forgotten that information, here is a way to recover past accounts.

 

To start, go to the TurboTax website and click on the ‘Sign In’ link. Enter your user ID and password associated with your TurboTax Account. If you’ve forgotten your credentials, follow the prompts to recover them. It’s essential to use the same account you did in previous years to access your old tax returns.
