After you file

I don’t see the word “status” anywhere. When I click on the Download PDF, I get “To download your past TurboTax returns, you need to register your account first.”, which appears to indicate that I may have logged last year like now, but no more. So it looks like there’s no actual info inside. Thank you.

 


When you go to that Tax Returns and Documents section and choose 2018, what is the text shown underneath the words Federal Tax Return, next to the picture of a USA map?     It should say started, printed, accepted, rejected, ready to mail, etc.   If it says "started", that means one was begun but never finished in that account.  It should also show what edition was used last year for the return.

 

The message "you need to register your account first" to view the PDF only means that you didn't pay for an online TurboTax return last year.   Folks who started an online return last year but didn't finish/pay, or who did finish but filed their 2018 return in Free Edition, have to register to get access to their 2018 PDF.
