I don't think TurboTax keeps tax returns that far back. If you did not save PDFs of your tax returns yourself, you should be able to get copies of your 2016 and 2017 tax returns by submitting Form 4506 to the IRS. There is a fee of $43 for each return. The form says that copies of returns are available for 7 years from when they are filed, so if you filed your 2016 tax return in early 2017 it should be available for another few months. It also says it might take up to 75 days for the request to be processed, so you should submit your request right away.

The IRS and TurboTax save returns for seven years, so you could try looking to see if you used a different account for those years.

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.

Start a 2022 return online and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your 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.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
