If you prepared your 2024 return in Online TurboTax, you should see evidence that one had been prepared when you log in and go to the Tax Home, or when you scroll down to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents." If there is no evidence that a 2024 return was prepared, and if it's acting like it wants you to start one, then you likely have multiple accounts without realizing it. If that's your situation, here's how to look for multiple accounts:
You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes. A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be. It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.
To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below. When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it. After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.
NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop. Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below. You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access, here's another method:
Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.
ADDENDUM:
Once you find the right account using the steps I provided above, the 2024 return that you can download from the Tax Home in "Your Tax Returns & Documents" is likely currently only the basic return without any worksheets or summary pages. If desired, here's how you can get a larger PDF that has all your worksheets and extra pages, if needed or desired. You can re-open your return interview and go to the Print Center inside the return, where you can choose from various PDFs.
NOTE: If/when you open your return interview back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed. If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.
NOTE: Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc. Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
