If you are using the TurboTax online editions and Cleared the tax return, it cannot be retrieved.

 

If you are using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions, the tax data file may still be available.

In the TurboTax folder within the Documents directory look for a tax data file which has a tilde (~) at the front of the file name for tax year 2023.  With the TurboTax program already started, click on that data file to open.
