To get a copy of your 2018 tax return that you filed this year, sign back in to your account and either:

  • Select Download/print return if your return has been accepted.
  • Or scroll down to under Your tax returns & documents (select Show if needed) and Download/print return (PDF).
  • Once your return has downloaded, locate the PDF and open it.
  • Select printer icon at the top of the screen, or open the File menu in the upper-left corner and select Print if you see that.
