@mauwal Please clarify for us--did you prepare your tax returns using online software or did you use desktop (CD/download) software? If you used desktop software, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive. They are not stored online. If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $50, an actual copy of the return.

Contact your state for copies of previous state returns.
