I desperately need a copy of last years (2019) tax return and it just disappeared off my computer. It makes me not trust using Turbo Tax in the future, There are other options, I trusted that my info was safe and secure on my computer. Not happy!!!!!
Using the TurboTax software on a Windows based personal computer, all saved PDF's and the tax data files are stored, by default, on the Documents directory in the TurboTax folder. If you changed where the files are stored you will have to search you hard drive and any network or virtual drives.
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.
Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
