@M-MTax @baldietax turbotax does not provide copies of online returns for security reasons. It tells users to access their account if they want copies. online returns are stored on turbotax computers for 7 years the same length of time the IRS preserves them. Whereas for desktop there is no online copy of the tax file. However, as to imported documents in desktop, I'm not sure of the online retention period. In 2023 I noted that there was for a limited time a copy of the 1099-B I imported. I no longer import (almost all my trades are of types A or D making manually entry easy). What surprises me is that users don't trust Turbotax but the IRS stores copies of taxpayer's returns for 7 years. While I never seen anything that would indicate the IRS has been hacked, that doesn't mean it hasn't happened or won't happen in the future. (not completely true since I think an IC doing work for the IRS accessed DJT's returns) And look at all the fortune 500 companies that have been hacked including those that do secret projects for our military!
