I tried to open the file with Adobe. It won't do that. How do I open the download?
The tax data file can only be opened by the TurboTax software for the year of the file. The tax data file has a file extension of .taxyyyy where yyyy is the year of the file. eg. .tax2020 for tax year 2020.
The PDF of the tax return can be opened by any compatible PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.
To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)
If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
