I received a letter that I am being audited for charitable contributions for 2018. How do I access the information I input last year?

Note:  Every year, before mid-October, print a copy of your current year tax return and save it as a tax file and pdf, too.  That way you will have it when you need it for school, a loan, next year’s tax return, etc. without going through a lot of aggravation (and expense)  to get it.

Note:   

You will need to look at the worksheets for the details of what you entered for charitable donations on the tax return.  The details will not be on your Form 1040.
