If you are working with your ".tax2019" file, it can only be opened with TurboTax software.

 

If you want to view a PDF of the tax returns you filed:

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Select Documents from the navigation when it appears.
  3. Use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose the tax year you want and then select Download PDF.
