These steps below were for the Online version, not the desktop (CD/download). I incorrectly assumed you were using Online TurboTax.
*********************
Are you unable to download/print the PDF at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents?" The Federal and state returns should be in the same PDF. But sometimes in early filing season, the PDF that one obtains in that location might not have updated with your recently-filed returns.
If not, here is a way to open the return back up and print at the Print Center.
NOTE: Do NOT make any changes in the return when you open it in case you have to amend it later. Keep it as originally filed.
- Log in, and at the Tax Home or down at "Your Tax Returns & Documents" (and tax year 2019), click on "Add a State." (you don't really add one. That's just to open your return back up.)
- After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
- Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
- The next screen should offer 3 options: "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"
- See if one of those PDFs has what you need.
NOTE: Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc. Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
