Can I still easy file this year's taxes without last year's return?

I have always done my taxes w/ TurboTax on my mother's computer. However this past October, I went no contact with my mom for various reasons. She's got all my tax files on her computer and I really don't want to contact her. Does Turbo Tax save the tax returns and automatically upload them for the next year?

How do I get my information come tax time?

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.

 

A 2020 tax return can be completed without transferring the 2019 tax data.  However, you will need to know the 2019 AGI to e-file the 2020 tax return.
