I don't have a printer. Can Turbo Tax send my files to my email account to have someone run them off?

TurboTax can not send your returns.   It may be easiest to log in to your account (even from a mobile device) when you have the printer available with someone so you can get this done:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Enter your return by selecting Continue or Start on Tax Home.
  3. Select Tax Tools from the menu, then Print Center (on mobile devices, tap in the upper left corner to expand the menu).
  4. Select Print, save, or preview this year's return, and follow any additional instructions.
  5. Once your PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader, select the printer icon.
  6. Make any adjustments in the Print window and then select Print.

No.  Just download the pdf file yourself and take it somewhere to print using a ubs flash drive.   You can email the pdf to someone but it’s not safe to email personal information.

Does this apply to previous years taxes? I had saved them on my computer but it crashed and I might still have the data,

Yes - you can download past years returns to print them.   

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Continue on the screen showing your prior-year summary. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (user ID) as in previous years.
  2. On the second screen showing product and pricing, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select the year you want, then select Download/print return (PDF)
