I am not filing with TurboTax this year, I just need copies of previous years returns. But, both the app and the website keeps trying to start filing for this year

Instead of letting me look for previous year's returns

You do not have to use TT for 2023 if you do not want to, but in order to get the side menu to open up and give you access to the past years, you have to enter some 2023 information---enough to get the menu to open.

You have to start a 2023 tax return by entering in your personal information.  Once that is done the Tax Home link on the left side of the online program screen will be available.  You do Not have to file a 2023 tax return nor do you have to pay for the TurboTax online account fee.

 

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
