  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.

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 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.

I've seen a number of recent posts, here in the forum, of people having trouble with 2020 specifically.....even though they can get the other years.

I suggest you call Customer Support and work with them....they need to realize it may be a particular problem with that year, and check it out.

What is the TurboTax phone number?

OOOOOHHH (Was that the year with a ton of late changes with the IRS forms in mid-filing-season due to COVID?  or was that for 2019, or 2021 forms?   If that mess was for 2020 tax filing season, maybe there's an issue with tax returns filed/accepted Before vs After the IRS changes took effect...or maybe it's for all 2020 tax files)
