Hello,
When I looked online at my return for state of Massachusetts from 2020, it said pending. Can turbotax show me a confirm that it was submitted to the state? They send a "Failure to file" letter but I had several states and the federal that was filed that year.
If you prepared and e-filed your 2020 MA state return in 2021, your online account will show whether it was accepted or rejected. However, if the state is saying you did not file, then instead of arguing with the state, you could print, sign and mail them a copy of the MA return. Do you have proof that you paid your 2020 tax due? TurboTax never knows if you paid your tax. Your only proof that you paid MA will be your own bank or credit card statements.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.
Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.
Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !
EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
In order to transfer a past year return to the new return you need the tax file
NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.
