You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
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.
Start a 2022 return online and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.
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.

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.

NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save return for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.
Easiest way and cost free to get your old returns: Open an IRS account online, you can see ALL your old returns and can print from there
@xmasbaby0 FYI, this link doesn't seem to work: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900721-find-your-tax-data-file-tax-file-in-windows
It takes me to a page with the following error message:
Not Found. Redirecting to https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/home/misc/03/en-us
Do you happen to have an updated, working link?
@tabula101 Did you use the Windows Desktop program? Try this link

If you used the Windows Desktop program you need the file ending in .taxyyyy to open in it. The tax files (and PDF files) should be in your Documents then in a Turbo Tax subfolder. If you can't find them do a search for all files ending in .tax or .tax2022 or .tax2021 or .tax2020, etc. And check the Recycle Bin. For Windows 10 check the One Drive. Did you make any backups? Like DropBox.
If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like "~your name.tax2022". That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it.
@tabula101 See this TurboTax support FAQ for finding the tax data file when using TurboTax for Windows - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-...
Thank you both! The new link you shared (https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-...) worked!
