Can I get a copy of my 2020 tax Return? Lost my copy with all sign in information so I created a new account. Need my AGI from 2020 to file 2021 return. Can you help?

I filed 2020 taxes with Turbo Tax but lost my information.  I can't sign in on old account, so created new account for 2021.  How can I get my 2020 AGI from Turbo Tax so I can file 2021

Please see the link posted by @ee-ea to recover your old TurboTax account. You can also get your AGI by obtaining an online tax return transcript from the IRS. Please see Can I get a copy of my tax return from the IRS? for more information.

If you have the 5-digit identity code you used in 2020, you can actually move on from the screen that asks for the 2020 AGI by clicking one of the options saying you don’t have the 2020 return, and eventually you’ll see a selection giving you the option to use that 5-digit code.

The 2020 AGI is on the federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 11

 

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/

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
