Why can’t I pull up and print my original return to print before I amended

Sorry---but if you did not save the original one as a pdf before you amended then the original is gone.   The amended return replaced it.

If you did not save a copy of the original tax return before you started to amend the tax return the the original Form 1040 is no longer available in the TurboTax program.  Only the amended tax return, Form 1040-X, and the changed Form 1040 are available.

 

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

 

If you have not started to amend the return then download the PDF of the original tax return.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
