we can't see the return so we can't say why the refund was different. in a few days the IRS should send you a notification explaining the changes. you can agree they're right or post back if you think they're wrong. provide an explanation as to why they are wrong and we may be able to clarify the situation.

I need to know my refund amount to get my 2018 refund. Where do I find it?

You can log into TurboTax online that you used this year.

Scroll to Your tax returns & documents
Select 2018 and there will be a box that says Filed Federal Return and the Federal Refund is listed in that box.

Is this available on mobile or no?

You may have had your refund garnished or offset by an IRS levy. You can call the FMS at 1-800-304-3107 to find out if your refund was reduced because of an offset. You can also call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service at 1-877-777-4778 (or visit www.irs.gov/advocate) if you feel your refund was reduced in error. The service is free.

Ok but what about the mobile app? Can I access the documents I need from it or do I need my computer?

You are not able to directly upload into the TurboTax app, however, you can sign into TurboTax Online and upload your tax return and then continue in the app as everything is synced between TurboTax Online and the mobile app.

For instructions on how to transfer your returns into TurboTax Online, please see this helpful FAQ: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-transfer-last-year-s-return-into-...

Okay... what if I don’t have a copy of the actual return on my computer? I have my 2018 return but not my 2017.Is there a way to access my 2017 return through you guys??

Follow these steps to get a copy of your 2017 tax return.

Select Documents from the navigation when it appears.
Use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose the tax year you want and then select Download PDF.

This link How do I access a prior year return? has additional information that you may find useful.

If you did not file your 2017 tax return with TurboTax you can obtain a transcript of your tax return from the IRS. This link to the IRS web site Welcome to Get Transcript has directions on how to obtain a transcript of your tax returns from the IRS.

I looked again and couldn't find it. Has this function been removed or have I lost it?

There is another version of the return... that I was able to access before. It looks completely different with a completely different font. How do I access this?

I need to be able to see my refund amount. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Re: Refund amount

ghidaji1 — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 15:57:41 GMT

I'm looking to do exactly this....

You can log into TurboTax online that you used this year.

Scroll to Your tax returns & documents
Select 2018 and there will be a box that says Filed Federal Return and the Federal Refund is listed in that box.

I was able to do it the first time. But have since been unable to do it. Is there something that needs to be done on your end? The "Filed Federal Return" option is no longer available to me

For 2019?

If you have filed your 2019 tax return then look at the top of the Tax Home web page, it shows both Federal and State amounts - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Or look at your tax returns -

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

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

Or -

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.

This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Then click on Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

If you have not filed the 2019 tax return then look at the indicators at the top of the 2019 online tax return program screen after you have completed your tax return but before it has been filed.

I am trying to access my 2018 and 2017 federal tax returns from the turbotax website in the same format that they were mailed to the IRS. That weird... typewriter font. On that form it tells me my refund amount. I need both of these forms. My 2017 and 2018.

You can access your prior year return in a few quick steps:
1. Select Tax Home in the left-hand menu
2. Under Your tax returns & documents (select Show if you need to), go to the tax year you want
3. Select Download/print return PDF

I do not need this form ^

You can log into TurboTax online that you used this year.

Scroll to Your tax returns & documents
Select 2018 and there will be a box that says Filed Federal Return and the Federal Refund is listed in that box.

I need this form ^

The problem is I no longer have access to the "Filed Federal Return" or "Federal Refund" options.

I'm sure you guys are very busy... but could somebody please help me? My refund is getting reduced.

I've told you exactly what I need above. Every day this does not get solved, I'm losing money.
