Can past returns completed on a desktop be retrieved?

Our computer crashed last summer, and we lost our past returns. Is there any way these can be retrieved?

There is not a way through TurboTax that you can retrieve past year returns from a desktop computer.  You can attempt it with a computer specialist in your area.  

 

You can get a Transcript of your return from the IRS if you do not have a printed copy.
