How to get a copy after filing

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-get-a-copy-of-a-return-i-filed-thi...

 

Here's an alternate way to print by opening the filed return back up to print at the Print Center, where you can also get the worksheets.

 

Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section Your Tax Returns & Documents for 2020, look for a link Add a State.  Click on Add a State.  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.)

 

After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.

Then choose Print, save, view this year's return.

The next screen should offer some options:  Just my tax returns or include government worksheets (optional), or include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)

I Need a Copy of My 2020 Tax Return

Could someone please call me?  I need to ask to have my returns printed and mailed to me.  I’m older and really not good with technology and I was unable to print them.  I need everything for my bankruptcy trustee.  It’s a simple tax filing and return.  
My phone number is:  [phone number removed].  Thank you so much!

NO one can call you from this user forum---and you just posted a lot of your personal information on a public web site.

 

This is a public web site that can be seen by anyone—including scammers and would-be identity thieves who would love to contact you and pretend to be from TurboTax.  Please remove the personal information you posted here ASAP by returning to your post and clicking the three little blue dots on the upper right to edit your post.

 

No one else has access to your tax return.   Nobody can print it and send it to you.    This is do it yourself software.    You have to print it for yourself.

  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.

I Need a Copy of My 2020 Tax Return

Nobody can mail or email you anything. Only you can access your return.  What do you mean copy?  You mean print?  You can download the pdf file and put it on a flash drive to take somewhere to print like a office store or friends printer.  Or you can log in from any computer to download and print it.

And Turbo Tax does not have copies of your W2s.  You need to get another copy from your employer.

TurboTax cannot mail or email your tax return to you.  You can download a PDF of your tax returns yourself.

 

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

I filed my taxes on time. They we accepted by the Feds and the State, but now I can't access them. I should be receiving some money back but when I asked the Treasure Dept./IRS they need an exact amount which I do not have. Can you please help?

You have to sign onto your 2020 online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your 2020 account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

 

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.

 

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

The amounts of your refunds will be displayed.

Here's an alternate way to print by opening the filed return back up to print at the Print Center, where you can also get the worksheets.

 

You have to have your return open on the screen to get to Tax Tools and print.

Select Tax Home in the left menu.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back into your return).

After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.

Then choose Print, save, view this year's return.

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.
