SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !
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 return for seven years. Returns older than seven years are purged.
I accessed my existing account, but nothing is there.
I tried starting a 2022 tax return but nothing popped up about old returns.
I tried the link asking for a previously filed tax return, but got nothing, that link errored out.
I don't have access to my old laptop that had the return saved on it.
Is there anyway I can get my 2011 return as I need it for filing in Australia. Thanks
No one has the 2011 returns any longer ... not even the IRS ... they only save the last 7 years.
