If you don't have your login info (username and password), you can use the TT recovery tool to find returns associated with your SSN. Follow the hyperlinks included in this TurboTax FAQ, and you should see the option where you are asked to enter your email address. Underneath that "box", you should see wording something like, "I forgot my email address". Follow that hyperlink to use the tool entering your SSN.

Are you trying to find a copy of a 2020 return you prepared in Online TurboTax? If so, I've posted 2 methods below to get back into your account--the first uses the Account Recovery tool, and a second method that uses SSN. As part of the recovery process, some people may find out they have more than one account.

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes. A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be. It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below. When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first-- if you can still access it. After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop. Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below. You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access, here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.
