No one is able to tell you that except yourself.  Your tax information is confidential and TT employees are not able to access that information.

You, as a taxpayer, are responsible for knowing what tax returns you have filed.

If you have not maintained records, and copies of your tax returns, then you can request a tax transcript from the IRS.  See the link below:

Additionally, you can see your earnings by year by going into your Social Security webpage (account).  This will only show your earnings that have been reported to the IRS and SS Administration.  This will not show if you actually filed a tax return.

Social Security does keep a work history for you but it might not be up to date.  

 

As the answer above pointed out---it is YOUR responsibility to keep track of who you worked for, where you worked, when you worked, etc.  Your income tax records do not show that information even if you filed tax returns.  W-2's and income tax returns only show what was earned in a specific tax year.  The record is not broken down by months or days.

I think this is a STATE issue ... a couple of states need you to list your dates of employment on the state return.   If that is what you did then save a PDF of the return and look at the state forms and/or the worksheets. 

 

 

 

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 to the 2019 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.
