Need tax returns for years 2002-2009

TTax does not keep tax returns for that long.  It is up to you to keep copies of your tax returns each year. 

You should:

        print and keep a paper copy of your return;

       you should also save a .pdf copy of your return;

        and you should also keep/save the .taxnn file for each year.   (where nn is the specific tax year of the return

 

As a last resort you can contact the IRS and request either a Transcript or a Copy for the desired years.

There is a charge for copies; however, a transcript of the return is free.

FYI: You can only get IRS transcripts for the past 3 years and copies for the last 6 years.  The IRS destroys tax returns after 7 years unless they are investigating fraud.
