I need to find my return from 2016 for college grants. Where can I find this information?

You can get a (usually free) transcript of your return at the link below.

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

If you need an actual copy of your return, a fee is involved and you will need to prepare and mail Form 4506.

See https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

If you prepared the 2016 return in Online TurboTax and need the actual return, log in and go to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents".  Expand that and choose 2016.  Do you find evidence of the return with a link to download/print the PDF?   If not, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.

Or do you find the link to download/print the 2016 return, but access is locked and it asks you to pay?  If so, we can tell you how to upgrade a 2018 return and pay for PLUS (19.99) to unlock all prior returns in that account.

tagteam also told how you can get a free 2016 tax return transcript from the IRS.
