To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.
On the Tax Home webpage -
Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)
If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
Returns prepared using the CD/download are not stored in your online account. They are only stored locally on your own hard drive or any back up device you use. Only returns prepared using the online software are stored in your online account.
Thank you, I was able to retrieve the previous years online.
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
It is unbelievable to me that the desktop app it not integrated with my online account. Now, because the link in the email was for the desktop app, I have my taxes in 2 different places. One of my goals in using TurboTax was to have my tax history backed up all to one place.
