I need my transcript for tax year 2020. I can't remember if I used TurboTax that year. I will gladly pay $30, but how will I know if I even used TT in 2020?

How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2022 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2022. I had to go though about 12 screens.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.

Or request a transcript from the IRS

You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

You may need to start a 2022 return by entering a little information so that the side menu on the left opens up and allows you to get to the past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
