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.
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)
