I can't open my 2018 tax return

It is not clear what you are trying to do.  Has your 2018 return been filed and accepted?   Or is it incomplete?  If you did not complete it, then you cannot work on it online now.  Online prep and e-filing closed on October 15, 2019 for 2018 returns.  Please post back and tell us what you are trying to do so we know how to help.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
