To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:

Sign in to TurboTax
Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents
Select Show OR Select 2024 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center)
From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center
Select Print, save or preview this year's return
Select the 2024 Federal and/or State return box
Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets
Select View or Print Forms

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 2024 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.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

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.
