See the following.  You might want to also download your Online return as a PDF.  That way you can open your return without having the TurboTax software.  You would need a PDF app on your computer, like Adobe Reader.

This is so annoying. All searches take you to this same link, but that will only get you the pdf download, not the .tax file.  How can I download the .tax file? Please do not keep reposting the stupid links in this already that just say "we'll save a pdf and .tax file" but only actually give you the pdf.

No this isn't correct. Let me show you the screen on how to access your 2020 tax file. But first:

1. log into turbo tax
2. On the land page, scroll to the bottom of the form to Your tax returns & documents.

3. Select show and select the downward facing arrow

4. Select yr 2020

5. Download .tax file

6. Here what it looks like on the screen.

Thank you Dave. That did the trick. I had seen that page but missed the links at the very bottom. I'll claim part user error but it could also be more easily accessed in other parts of the site as well. Problem solved though, thank yo.

To complete and file a 2020 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2020 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A 2020 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.
