TurboTax does not have copies of returns you prepared using the desktop software. TT only has copies of returns prepared using online software.

Are you sure you did not save the tax files to your hard drive?

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive. They are not stored online. If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $50, an actual copy of the return.

Contact your state for copies of previous state returns.
