How do I download the tax PDF for my 2019 return from the Turbo Tax website. When I click on "Download tax PDF" nothing happens. Do you know what is wrong?

When I click on "Download tax PDF" , I only get a text file, which I can't read!  How do I download the tax PDF for my 2019 return.

 If it downloads as a .txt file, try changing the .txt to .pdf or use a different browser to download it.

If you are using Microsoft Edge see

You are using an Edge web browser that changes the PDF file download extension from a .pdf to a .txt file type.  Rename the file extension to .pdf and it can be opened by any compatible PDF viewer application, such as Adobe Reader.

Or change your web browser to Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox and download the PDF again.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

@eric2002M 

Are you trying to amend a 2019 return using the downloaded 2019 program?   If so you cannot "load" the PDF into the program nor can you transfer the info into the 2020 program and if you could all that would load is your name, address, SS#.
