No...the extensions with .tax2021 and .tax2022 ?
Those are NOT PDF files, those are the datafiles that the desktop software uses to fully complete all the forms needed for a tax return. If you can't find a file that ends in .pdf for those tax returns, then you don't ahve the PDF files yet
1) If you have been using the "Desktop" software on your computer, you start up the software for each year first, then you open those datafiles using that desktop software, then go up to the "File" menu and create and save a PDF file of your tax return for you to print out for others to see.

2) If you have been using the "Online" software, then you need to log into yoru account and download the PDF file for each year separately. The 2022 tax return PDF file would likely be just the filing copy (at this point in time....until late Nov or Dec). The 2021 tax return PDF file will be HUGE, and include all the backup worksheets, and you probably need to only print out the first pages...i.e. the 1040, and schedules for the Federal section of the PDF file.

If you DID use the "Online" software for 2021 and 2022...be sure to download those PDF files ASAP.....your access to those files will shut down completely very soon for the software changeover to 2023 tax forms, and you will have no access to them again until, perhaps, late November.
