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

A view documents from: YEAR

If you want to manipulate your previous return you will have to amend it. You will not file the return, but it is the only way to make changes.

Since 2019 and 2020 tax code did not change significantly you could prepare a mock tax return on the 2020 software by reposting the info from 2019.

Be sure not to file it by mistake.

To amend a return

Some quick ground rules:

Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
