I do not want to disturb my 2019 return; however, I need a copy of it. It says to "select transfer to import last years tax information into a new return" .... I don't want a new return, I only want to look at it !
It's not clear what you are going and what product you are using. Do you have desktop 2019 software (CD/download) and are trying to access the *.tax2019 data file? If so, it sounds like you are trying to start a new return rather than opening an existing one.
Did you not save the 2019 return as a PDF? A PDF is an easier way to view the return than using the program to open the data file.
If you are using desktop software for Windows, launch the 2019 program. At the main home screen of the program interface, click at the top left corner on FILE menu, then choose OPEN Tax Return, then point the program to the location of the *.tax2019 data file.
Once the return is open, you may wish to make a PDF of your return for easier viewing at any time without having to use the TurboTax software.
NOTE: Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc. Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
