When accessing past year returns on TTax online, why is it asking me to upload documents for the year?

In the past it would give me the option to download a previous year's return, but now it's prompting me to do an upload first? Should I proceed with the upload so I can view the past return? I chose 2016 as an example but it does this anything two years and older, while last year's is still available online..

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

@ngneer You are in the wrong section. My Doc is to store copies of your own documents.
