When you log in do you see the option to continue your return ? That is the tax home page. So scroll down and click on Your tax returns & documents ... use the arrow if needed to open that section.
If you have completed your online return then scroll down to see all the options/tools at your disposal. Also note your filing history with the filing status posted in green ... this also shows all the times you accessed the return (new feature) and on the right column all the actions you can take. If you have not yet save a PDF & .taxfile of the return for your records then do so now while you have the access.
If you need the PDF with all the worksheets then click on ADD A STATE to let you back into the archived return then use the PRINT CENTER on the left side menu under TOOLS to save PDFs of the return + worksheets.
Thank you. Hm, I don't have the "Tax Home" or "Documents" tab anymore when I log in. There's nothing in the left column and only the "let's go!" option center-screen. I don't wish to start a return, just to access a previous year's filing...do you know if there a way to restore the tabs from here?
Are you in the right account? How to Access prior year online returns

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.
If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
Or request a transcript from the IRS

But this is what appears when I scroll to the bottom of the screen:
Nothing but a Legal Footer there.
OK, thanks. Yes, in the correct account, and I used the cloud version for previous year. I started the process and on Page 3 or 3, it asks me to buy or start for free. When I choose the latter, this is what appears. Still nothing on the left...
