I'm trying to file my tax return, but I've forgotten last years info.

I'm not sure what you mean by "last year's info."   So I'll take a guess that you are asking about a common inquiry, which is the 2020 AGI so you can verify an efile of your 2021 return.   Or maybe you are asking about an account password to find your 2020 return??  In any case, this answer will cover both situations. 

This answer assumes your 2020 return was prepared in Online TurboTax.  Any return prepared in desktop software will not be in an online account.

 

First see this:

FAQ:  How do I access my prior year return?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

Log in and go to the Tax Home.  Scroll down the Tax Home page to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents."  Expand that section and choose the tax year 2020.   Then you can choose to "Download/print the PDF", or if you just need the 2020 AGI, then once you choose 2020 there should be a link to "View adjusted gross income (AGI.)"

 

If you do all that, but there's no evidence of prior returns in that section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.    Many people end up with multiple accounts.

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

I can’t seem to login to my account. I have tried verifying my phone number, personal info, and resetting my password but it keeps bringing me back to the login page. What can I do to fix this?

You're probably stuck in the loop that I describe in my answer below.  See my NOTE in bold type below on how to avoid a loop.

 

Follow the steps I outline below.    Following that, if still unsuccessful, I've included a second method on how to recover an account.  It's also possible to discover that you could have more than one account without realizing it.
