I did my 2018 taxes using TurboTax Online and printed them to mail. I lost those print outs and need to reprint them so I can mail them now. When I click Download/print return (PDF) I get a 214 page PDF. Which pages do I need to mail to Federal or State?

Best answer by KarenM90

Yes, include both of those.

When you download and print your return you should print all of the Tax Return pages and Schedules.  

 

You do not need to print the Worksheets to mail to the IRS or to the State, but you may need to print the filing instructions for the mailing addresses.

Thank you! I expected that was the case, but found two California forms I wasn't sure I need to attach: 

 

Schedule P    Credits That Reduce Tax Statement

(Entries and all zeros, but I assume as it's a schedule it should be attached)

 

Form 3885A    California Depreciation Options

("Half-Year Convention" checked,

"3a Federal taxable income for the Section 179 limitation" has an amount,

"3b California taxable income for the Section 179 limitation" has the same amount.)

You need your 2018 AGI to efile 2019. The AGI is on 2018 1040 line 7. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

How to find the AGI.

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Log into the Intuit website.  Look for an option that allows you to reprint prior returns.  Once you do, look for options and select the option that says Forms and supporting sheets that need to be filed, or something like that.   This is what you should print and send in. 

If you do not see print options when you login to the Intuit website, then you should print out all the actual forms - they say Form on the upper left of each one.  Also, you need to print out the calculation sheets that relate to these forms, but only the key calculation sheets.   These are the ones that actually support the numbers on the forms.  You can either use your best judgment on which of these is key.

Do you mean a 2018 return that you filed already?

 

  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.

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.
