Where would 2023 taxes be online? We filed after the electronic date to file online passed. Where can I find the electronic copy on turbo tax?

Used turbo tax to file 2023 taxes in early 2025. It was passed the electronic filing date. How can I find an electronic version via turbo tax?

What are you looking for?   Did you use the Online version?   If you did 2023 after Oct 2024 you would have needed to use the Desktop program installed on your computer.   Did you finish it and now need to file 2023 by mail?

If you used the Desktop program the only copy is on your computer.

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.

Or request a transcript from the IRS

Or get a copy of your return using form 4506
