I need my 2018 tax return

I'm trying to see my 2018 tax refund. When I go into my account, it shows my 2019 tax refund amounts but when I click on "2018", it doesn't show any amount. I *know* I received a refund.

 The TurboTax website will not show you the 2018 tax refund amount.  You need to download the PDF of your 2018 tax return to see the refund.

To access your current or 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)

It would show the *final* refund amount? Even after the government possibly added more to the refund?

Any refund amount posted on the TurboTax website or on your filed tax return is the amount from the filed tax return.  It would not show any changes made to the refund amount, plus or minus. 

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or a State concerning the status of a tax return or a tax refund after the tax return has been accepted by the IRS or a State.

NO ... it will show the return as filed not as changed by the fed or state.   The TT system is static  not fluid situation so no changes are ever recorded.   It is like you walking out of a tax prep office with a paper copy in your hand ... it will never change.

Then why does it show my 2019 tax refund amount? Is it because it's the most recent?
