Is there anyway I can get a copy of my 2017 return. I filed it at my local H&R office and now it is lost! I want to file online this year, but I really need your help!!!

I have used my local H&R Block for at least the last 3 years. I was going to attempt Turbo Tax this year but I have zero documents from 2017. With the tax laws changing each year, it'a a nightmare.
I would have to assume all tax files are stored. Can you help me, please??

TurboTax does not have access to any tax returns that were filed with another company for a prior year.  You would have to get the copy of your 2017 tax return from the company where you filed or from the IRS.

The IRS can provide you either a copy of your return for a fee, or a tax transcript of your return for free.  You can also request a Wage and Income transcript from the IRS which will show their copies of all of your income documents for a particular tax year.

Use this link for more information about requesting the transcripts from the IRS:  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Also see the following TurboTax article for more information.
