Where can I access prior tax returns that are from more than 7 years ago?

I checked on my timeline and under the header "download/print return (pdf)" it says "We keep returns from the past 7 years, making returns from 2016 or earlier unavailable." Yet, it still allows me to download a .tax file that's unreadable. Doesn't that mean that Turbotax still has access to those prior tax returns?

If you can get the .taxyyyy file you could try the TaxPrinter service (not connected with Turbo Tax) to convert a .tax file to pdf at

http://www.taxprinter.com

They might be expensive and it is probably not safe to email tax returns back and forth.

If you haven't done so already, download every year's tax file PDF from 2017 to 2022.....right now.

We constantly tell people in here, to download a PDF copy of their tax returns EVERY year, and back them up on a USB-flash drive or cloud storage.   Then you'll have them, as each new year another tax file PDF gets removed from the TTX servers.
