What tax year do you mean by "last year?" Do you mean your 2023 tax return? No one else can see your tax return. We have no access to your account. You have to look at it for yourself and see what is shown on line 37 of your Form 1040 for the amount of tax due. However, if you have not paid that amount, then you are also subject to owing interest, which TurboTax will not calculate. Only the IRS will calculate your interest and/or late filing penalties. After they receive the amount shown on line 37 they will bill you later for the additional amount you might owe.
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.
Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.
Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !
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.

NOTE: TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.
And.....if you prepared a state return, you need to look at that one, too and see if you owe the state.
If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
