Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I know I filed my taxes online, but I can't remember what service I used. If I sign up for Turbotax, can the system find my 2020 and 2021 tax returns?

If you used TurboTax then you can find your old account and your returns using the recovery tool.  If you used some other software then no, TurboTax cannot find out for you where you got your tax returns done.

 

  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 2022 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.

If you cannot find where you prepared your returns you can get transcripts from the IRS or pay the IRS for copies.

 

 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $43, an actual copy of your tax return.
