TurboTax 2017

I need to access a 2017 return that I used TurboTax 2017 for and unfortunately, I didn't save a PDF version of it. I purchased the CD version from Amazon and can no longer locate the CD. I have the TurboTax file (Sxxxxx 2017.tax2017). Is there any way to get this previous version without purchasing the CD again or is there any way to view the file?

TurboTax retains online tax returns for the past 7 years, the same retention period as the IRS.  The 2017 tax return is no longer available.

 

A transcript of the 2017 return may be available on the IRS website.
