@JJCC6391 Sounds like you were confused a few years ago about how to save your tax return. You should have saved it as a tax file and as a pdf----and that was certainly possible. Also, if you used TT online for 2017 you can still access that return. But you have to use exactly the same account and user ID in order to get to it. You do not have to pay again to get to your tax return.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !
EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
