What are you trying to do?   If you file a joint return with your spouse then you cannot file a tax return for just yourself.   "he don't claim me.."    No----a spouse can never be claimed as a dependent.   That is why you file a joint return so that you combine your incomes on one return and get all of the tax benefits of filing together.

 

We cannot see any of your information.   No, TurboTax Live is not free -- it is one of the more expensive versions--ranging in price from $80 to $200---and the state is additional.  

 

If you want to find your old returns you can use the recovery tool:

 

  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.

 Online Deluxe $40  State software $40

The reason I want to start over is because of u telling me that irs owes us more money. We got 24. 12 28 3 checks and I called and ask irs yesterday and they said if we got 3 checks then that is what I was trying to explain to you

Your post is still confusing.    It seems you think you can get more stimulus money---but we cannot tell from what you have said how much you received already.   There have been three rounds of stimulus checks.

 

The first checks were for $1200 for adults, and $500 for children under the age of 17.   So a married couple could get up to $2400 for that one and more if you had kids.

 

The second checks were for $600 each person---so a married couple could have received up to $1200 for that one.

 

The third stimulus---which is NOT part of your 2020 tax return---- is for $1400 for each person.  So a married couple could get up to $2800.

 

 

If you have received those amounts----that is it.  You are done unless Congress decides to give away more.
