How to Access prior year online returns

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.

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

If you used the Online version:

How do I access a prior-year return?

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 used the Desktop versions, your returns are on the computer you used for the returns.
