Received a letter from IRS asking for copy of 2021 tax return. Cannot locate the paperwork and when I check TurboTax, it’s the only year not populating. 100% sure I filed

  • *update* 

I was able to locate the previously filed return. Thanks all!

  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 2024 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.

wanting to file, or refile a 2021 tax return?

 

Google it.

Maybe I wasn’t clear in my initial post. Not looking to file or refile. Trying to locate my previously filed return that I cannot find in my turbo tax documents.

 

also, “google it” might be the dumbest response you could’ve mustered.

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/

 

Start the 2024 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year 2023 and Click on Download/print return (PDF) or Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

 

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.
