TurboTax keeps copies of my prior returns. I paid for TurboTax last year and processed my return. Why do I have to pay for this years TurboTax product when what I want is a copy of last years return?

You can access your prior years' returns by following the instructions here

 

If you file your return with Turbo Tax, you have until October of the same year to access your return for free, otherwise, you will need to purchase a paid version of Turbo Tax the following year to access a prior year's return.

How can I retrieve a copy of my 2019 Fed Tax Return?
