I recently completed my 2016 federal return. I'd like to access this return but there seems to way to link to my return. How can I access my return?

I may have failed to include a deduction and would like to access my return to see if that's the case.  How do I access my return?  The website has not link to my return.

When you sign into your TurboTax account, you select "My TurboTax" then "Tax Timeline".

Scroll down and under Some things you can do - you can choose to add a state return, you aren't really adding one, just gaining access to your return.  Be sure you don't make any changes to the original return in case you want to amend it.  the original return needs to be intact before you would begin that process.
