Print a 2016 Return

[maryph]

I want to print my 2016 return. It keeps downloading a 170 page document. This doesn't seem right.

The PDF of the 2016 tax return includes all forms, schedules and worksheets for both the federal tax return and the state tax return (if applicable).  When viewing the PDF download with a compatible PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader, you can pick and choose which pages print.

Please send me a PDF of my 2016 return. IRS has problems with a condo I sold that year.

Please send the return.

TurboTax cannot send you a copy.   This is a user community forum.  We can tell you how to get a copy once you answer a few questions.

Was your 2016 return prepared with Online TurboTax?  If so, log in to your account and look in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."   Choose tax year 2016, and look for a link to download/print the PDF.   Do you find evidence of your return there OK, but when you try to download, does it ask you to pay?    If that's your situation, we can tell you how to pay to unlock your 2016 return.   The method to unlock it depends on what all you have done with your 2018 return.

If you find no evidence at all of your 2016 online return in that account, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.    A return prepared in desktop software (CD/download) will not be in an online account.

If you have found the 2016 return, but access is locked, please answer all of the following:

1. Have you already filed a 2018 return in Online TurboTax, or is one still in preparation?  Or did you file elsewhere?
2. Was the 2018 return prepared in Free Edition?
3. Is the 2018 return in the SAME account as the 2016 online return?

We can tell you how to unlock a return once you answer all the questions above.

There's also a free option if a return transcript will suit your purpose.   You may be able to immediately download one at the IRS website if you qualify to open an IRS account there.  Otherwise, to order a transcript to come by postal mail takes 5-10 calendar days.
