This is annoying. I cannot find the taxes that I filed for 2019. and the chat is useless
To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)
Or -
When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.
This will take you back in to the 2020 online tax return.
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Then click on Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

This thread is about printing a 2019 return, is several pages long going back to last year, and has multiple users with various related issues. If you can't even find your 2019 return, then that's a whole different ballgame and adds another dimension. You might even have multiple accounts without realizing it, and I'll mention below how to check for that if it becomes necessary. But there are some things to try first.
This answer will assume you are using Online TurboTax. Any return prepared in desktop software (CD/download) will not be in an online account.
See the 2 methods and video here first:
FAQ: How do I access my prior year return?
When you log into TurboTax for the first time this year, you may not yet have the Tax Home tab and Documents tab visible in the left menu column. If they're not there, then you may have to first proceed a little further by answering some preliminary screens and may even need to choose a 2020 product to get them to appear (you are not obligated to use it.) Once you continue far enough to have the Tax Home and Documents tabs, here are a couple of ways to get to the prior returns:
You can click on Documents in the left menu and then a dropdown list of years should appear. Choose the year, and then way off to the right of the screen, you should see a link to download the PDF. If that didn't work, here's another method:
Go to the Tax Home. Scroll down the Tax Home page to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents." Expand that section and choose the tax year you want. Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF", or if you just need the 2019 AGI, then once you choose 2019 there should be a link to "View adjusted gross income (AGI.)"
If you do all that, but there's no evidence of prior returns in that section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one. Many people end up with 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 SSN and other parameters.

What/where is the roadblock? What happens when you try to print? Any error message?
Did you use Online TurboTax or desktop software (CD/download)? If the desktop software, is it for Mac or Windows?
Or can you not find your online 2019 return?
I want to print both my 2019 and 2020 tax return. Please guide m

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)
If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
I do not want to disturb my 2019 return; however, I need a copy of it. It says to "select transfer to import last years tax information into a new return" .... I don't want a new return, I only want to look at it !

It's not clear what you are going and what product you are using. Do you have desktop 2019 software (CD/download) and are trying to access the *.tax2019 data file? If so, it sounds like you are trying to start a new return rather than opening an existing one.
Did you not save the 2019 return as a PDF? A PDF is an easier way to view the return than using the program to open the data file.
If you are using desktop software for Windows, launch the 2019 program. At the main home screen of the program interface, click at the top left corner on FILE menu, then choose OPEN Tax Return, then point the program to the location of the *.tax2019 data file.
Once the return is open, you may wish to make a PDF of your return for easier viewing at any time without having to use the TurboTax software.
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.
Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program? For Desktop you need to launch the 2019 program, not 2020. Or is it asking to transfer a 2018 return into a new 2019 return? If you have the 2019 program go up to File-Open.
Access a prior year online return
Actually if you used either Online or Desktop you should have save a pdf copy of your return so you don't need to use the program or go online to get a copy.

Click on the File menu in the upper left corner of the TurboTax 2019 desktop program screen. Click on Open Tax Return. Select the 2019 tax return you want to view or browse to the location where you stored the 2019 tax data file.
With the 2019 tax opened, click on the File tab. Click on Print/Save for Your Records. Click the blue Save a PDF button. Open the PDF of the return you saved to view your 2019 tax return.
