I filed with turbo tax 2016 I don't want to file with them this year but I need a copy of my 2016 tax info and I don't want turbo tax to have access to my 2017 tax doc

[lawon-b]

Do you have to pay to get a copy of 2016 tac documents and also I want to receive my 2017 w2 by mail not through email with turbo tax

[VolvoGirl]

You get your W2 from your employer.  Your employer should be sending it directly to you.  You do not have to get it by importing to Turbo Tax.

[lawon-b]

Ok do I really have to pay 30$ Just to get a copy of 2016 doc

[SweetieJean]

TT does not have your W-2.

[DoninGA]

A W-2 is not your tax return.  A W-2 is supplied by your employer to you and then you enter the tax data from the W-2 onto your tax return which is then filed with the IRS and/or your State.

If you did not pay for the one of the 2016 online editions of either Plus, Deluxe, Premier or Self-Employed you will need to start a 2017 tax return using the online Free editon and create the account with the exact same user ID you used to create the prior year online account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

After starting the tax return with the Free edition you will need to upgrade to the Plus edition and pay for the Plus edition ($29.99) so you can access all the prior year online tax returns through October 2019.
