Where can I find my 2020 tax records on the site?

[userrfarley99]

I got a letter from the State of New York stating I didn't file my taxes, and now they are charging me penalties and interest.  I can't locate the records on the turbotax website, i keep going in circles.  I need help me locating my files from that year so I can review.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.

And....does the state say you did not "file" your state return or do they say you did not pay your state tax due?   Only your own bank or credit card records will show proof that you paid the state.  TurboTax never knows how, when or even if you pay your tax due.  A state tax due cannot ever be paid from a federal refund.

Are they saying you didn't file the tax return OR didn't pay a Tax Due?  Your only proof of payment is your bank statement or credit card showing the payment coming out. Turbo Tax only passes your bank account number to the IRS or state for them to take it out of your account. And the IRS or state does not update Turbo Tax when or if they get your payment.
