Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

To access your tax return after you've e-filed it or printed it as part of mailing your return to the IRS:

  • Sign in to TurboTax.

  • Select Tax Home from the menu.

  • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.

  • Select 2025, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back in).

You'll now be in your return.

Remember:

  • If you've already mailed your return to the IRS, don't e-file it. This can cause problems with the government, including refund delays.

  • If you've already filed your return and you make changes, these changes will be transferred to next year's return if you don't undo them and your information may not be accurate.

  • If you need to change a return you've already filed (for example, you forgot to include a form with your return), you'll have to amend your return.
