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.

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.

Ideally, you should print a copy of your return every year to your computer so that you always have them on hand. You can also print a paper copy for your records.

Here's how to view and download your prior-year returns. You can access returns for the past seven years.

First time signing in this year

Sign in to your TurboTax account and continue through your prior year summary. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (user ID) as in prior years.
On the next screen, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents.
Select the year you want, then select Download/print return (PDF).
- If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for

If you've started your return already
