Why on earth can I not locate my past TurboTax returns? It just takes me to file for 2024, which someone else is filing for me.

[Enya-Krieg]

Where can I see my old returns? I do not want to file with TurboTax for 2024 but cannot see my old returns unless I do.

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/

Start the 2024 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.  You DO NOT have to file, you only need to enter some identifying information so that you can access the prior year tax returns.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF) or Click on View adjusted gross income (AGI)

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
