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/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  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

This answer assumes your 2019 return was prepared in Online TurboTax.  Any return prepared in desktop software will not be in an online account.

Also see these 2 methods to find a past Online return and video here first:

FAQ:  How do I access my prior year return?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

Log in and click on the Documents tab in the left menu column, and then a dropdown list of years should appear.  Choose the year, and then way off to the right of the screen, you should see a link to download the PDF.    If that didn't work, here's another method:

Go to the Tax Home.  Scroll down the Tax Home page to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."  Expand that section and choose the tax year you want.   Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF", or if you just need the 2019 AGI, then once you choose 2019 there should be a link to "View adjusted gross income (AGI.)"

If you do all that, but there's no evidence of prior returns in that section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.    Many people end up with multiple accounts.

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

Alternatives:

1. If you can't find the account with the return using the detailed Account Recovery info above, Customer Support may be able to assist you.
   https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
2. If you qualify to open an IRS account, you can download a free 2019 tax return transcript.  If you can't open the IRS account, you can still select to have a transcript postal mailed to you in about 5-10 calendar days.
   https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
3. A copy of the actual return from the IRS costs $43 and can take several weeks.

need copy of  2019 tax return

[xmasbaby0]

@Ballesteros Jim This thread has the way to get a copy of your 2019 return multiple times----if you find a thread with a question like your own, it is a good idea to READ the thread before you ask the same question again.   Your answer is here many times over.  But here it is again.

  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.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

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

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

How did you file the 2019 return--did you efile it, or did you choose to print, sign, and postal mail the return?  NOTE:  If you chose the option to print, sign, and mail, TurboTax does not mail it for you; you would have had to do it.

If you efiled, are you sure the efile was accepted by the IRS for processing?   If you used Online TurboTax, you can check the efile status by logging into your account, and at the Tax Home scroll down and expand the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."   Then choose tax year 2019.   What is shown for the status of the 2019 return-- does it say accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or what?

Also, if you efiled, then when you download your 2019 PDF, look for a page called "Electronic Postmark."
