I am trying to access prior tax return, and am told I need to pay first. It seems like I can only pay when I am ready to file. I am not ready to file current return yet. How do I get a copy of my 2016 return, or at least pay for the account, before filing my current year?

To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit card, without completing the 2018 return at this time, 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.  On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Pay Now.  On the next screen just click on the Continue button.  The next screen will show a review of your Fees, click on Continue.  Complete the next screen to pay by credit card and click Continue.
