I got a letter from the IRS about not filing state income taxes. I know that I used turbotax. How can I get ahold of previous years returns?

You file federal tax returns with the IRS; state tax returns are filed with your state. Did you receive a letter from the state? If the state is saying you did not pay your tax due, then start looking for your bank or credit card records. Your only proof that you paid the state will be your own bank or credit card statements.

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 2023 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.
