I prepared my 2018 1040 yesterday. I cannot find it today. How do I access it? Is it on my hard drive or do I go to your website.

Turbo Tax Deluxe 2018. I completed it up to the Review stage.

If you were working on your 2018 return, follow the steps below. If you downloaded your return, it would be a PDF file on your computer.  If not, it is on the TurboTax server.  Be sure you use the same Login.

To access your current (if available) or prior year return:
  1. Sign in to TurboTax using the same login information you used for last year.
  2. Go to Your tax returns & documents at the bottom of the main screen (if you're already in your return, select Tax Home in the left-hand menu first).
  3. If not already visible, select Show and then the year you're looking for.
  4. Then select Download/print return (PDF) or Download .tax file.
