This is a public user Internet forum.  You should not post any personal info in this public forum.  Fortunately, it looks like the forum's privacy filter removed the email address from your comment for your protection against spammers/scammers.

If you need help in this community forum, then you need to explain your issue, but don't post any personal info.

Is your issue the same as this thread title; i.e., needing a copy of your 2020 return?   If so, see if the following helps you. 

This answer assumes your 2020 return was prepared in Online TurboTax.  Any return prepared in desktop software will not be in an online account.

First see this:

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 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 2020.   Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF", or if you just need the 2020 AGI, then once you choose 2020 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.

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.

I have a problem that I need to fix on my 2020 IRS Federal Tax.

So far it's been over 8months and did not receive my refund.

It will be appreciated if you could e-mail me a copy of my 2020 return.

@emziyadeh TurboTax cannot mail or email your tax returns.

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 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

Here's how to get a copy of your 2020 return PDF, which will hopefully be up to date, and also how to troubleshoot if you can't find it.

Did you use Online TurboTax last year and this year?  If so, if you are in the same online account, then the 2020 info should have transferred into your 2021 return automatically.   So you may not be in the right account.  I'll tell you how to troubleshoot below.

NOTE:  If you used desktop software (CD/download) for your 2020 return, then only you will have the *.tax2020 data file.  A desktop return will not be in an online account.

Log in and 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 2020.   Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF"or get the *.tax2020 data file if you want to transfer it into 2021 desktop software.

If there's no evidence of the prior online return 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 without realizing it.

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.
