How do I access past year's returns? The only screen I'm seeing is to get started with this year. I didn't use TurboTax last year so it's not starting with that??

I need to access the last year I used TurboTax which was 2019 but I don't know how to get to that document center. Literally the only option on my screen is let's go for 2024

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 2023 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

You cannot access last year's return on TurboTax if you did not use TurboTax to prepare your 2022 tax return. You can only access that return with the software you use for 2022.
