How do I find out how to view past years taxes filed in turbo tax ?

[DoninGA]

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

I use TurboTax on my desktop.  How do I export the file (not a pdf of it, but the digital file).  What is the file designation I should be looking for on my computer?

The tax data files have a file extension of .taxyyyy where yyyy is the tax year, eg. .tax2022 for tax year 2022

Thank you.  When I search for ".tax2022" two files show up.  One with a tilde and one without.  I assume the one with the tilde is THE file that TurboTax 2023 will inport.  When I search my screen doesn't show the file extention.  Thanks again! - FairSails
