There seems to be an issue with retrieving prior year tax returns and you are sent your TurboTax Account site for the Data and Privacy tab.  You will need to contact TurboTax support on Monday for assistance with this problem.

The problem still has not been fixed.

For some reason I cannot retrieve a previous year. It says it is downloading a PDF, it goes  to my down load file  but will not open. If I use the open file option, nothing happens

Try using a different browser to download it.

 

What file did you download?  Was it a .tax or .pdf or .txt file?  If it downloads as a .txt file, try changing the .txt to .pdf or use a different browser to download it.
