If I can not find my 2021 tax return, how do I finish filing?

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

 

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download .tax file

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for completing a tax return originally started using the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-retu...

 

If you purchased one of the 2021 TurboTax online editions with a credit card contact TurboTax support so they can push a 2021 installation file to your download account at no charge.

A 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed using TurboTax, it cannot be e-filed.

If I can not find my 2021 tax return, how do I finish filing?

Do you need to finish and file 2021 -OR- need the 2021 AGI to file 2022?  You need your 2021 AGI to efile 2022. The AGI is on 2021 1040 line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

How to find the AGI.

If you didn't file 2021 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return.

Or request a transcript from the IRS
