If you don't have a printed copy you can request a transcript of your 2018 tax return from the IRS.. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript

No. IRS requires cellphone that I do not have.

If you did not use TurboTax to complete and file the 2018 tax return and you cannot get on online transcript from the IRS, then request a copy of the transcript mailed to you, it takes 5 to 10 days to receive the mailed copy.

You can still request the transcripts by mail - see the other column on the link above. You enter the information requested and the request is sent online to the IRS. You will receive the transcript by mail.

 

This process does not require a cellphone.

 

Note that you want the "Return Transcript".
