Last year's tax

It says my taxes are ready to file, but I know I should have had to give info about last year's tax returns, and I didn't. Can you tell me which part to go back to in order to provide this info.

When you go to File, TurboTax will tell you what you have to enter.

It is the AGI from your last tax return that will be used to prove you are you.
Alternatively, you should be able to supply the e-signature PIN you picked last year.

Either will do the job.

The IRS requires your 2018 AGI to verify your identity for e-filing. If you're paper-filing your return, you won't need your AGI because those are manually processed.

The best place to get last year's AGI is from the 1040 form you filed for 2018. Look on page 2, line 7. If you filed a 1040NR, it'll be on line 35. You won't find your AGI on your W-2 or 1099 form because those forms don't take into account over a dozen above-the-line deductions that go into calculating your AGI.
