I need to refile my 2018 taxes. How do I get back to my return?

[xmasbaby0]

What do you mean by "re-file?"  Was the 2018 return e-filed before the filing deadline in 2018?   Was it rejected?  If so, the only way to file it now is to print, sign and mail it.  A 2018 return cannot be e-filed.  E-filing closed permanently for 2018 returns in October of 2019.  

Or was it filed and fully processed?  Did it have mistakes that you need to fix by amending?  That is a different process.

Explain what you are trying to do so we know how to help.

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

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

A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS.  Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld.  Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

The IRS sent me a letter stating they did not receive my 2018 tax return; however they did receive my tax payment. I want turbo tax to resend the 2018 tax return to the IRS.  Thank you...Dianne Archambault

No one can send it ---only you have access to your account and to your tax return.  Either you did not e-file correctly last year by going all the way through the file section to click the big orange button that said Transmit my returns now" -- or the return was rejected and you did not notice and follow up to fix it or print and mail it instead.  Now it has to be printed, signed and mailed, because e-filing is closed for 2018 returns.  Access the return and print it out.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

i filed my 2018 taxes thru turbo tax but they were rejected because my 2017 taxes were put on hold so it did not recognize the AGI i had entered for 2017. i finally got my 2017 federal (still have not rec'd state) and now i need to refile my 2018. I don't know how to do that.

A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed so there is no need for the 2017 AGI..

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS.  Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld.  Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.
