need copy of 2023 Federal tax return How can I get it?

I filed my 2023 Federal tax in October 2024 using Turbo tax.  I sent in a partial payment of 500.00.  I just received a letter from the IRS telling me that I need to file my 2023 tax return.  How do I get the information from Turbo tax about my 2023 return?  [email address removed]

Turbo Tax and the IRS only keeps the last 7 years. If they still have it……..
How to Access prior year online returns

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
