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.

How do I get a copy of a return I prepared using desktop TurboTax?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900639

 

 

Note:  Every year, before mid-October, print a copy of your current year tax return and save it as a tax file and pdf, too.  That way you will have it when you need it for school, a loan, next year’s tax return, etc. without going through a lot of aggravation (and expense)  to get it.

My 2016 return is under [Pii Removed] when I filed that year. I need proof to send IRS cuz they still have refund for that year. It is for $1109.00 . How can I get that year 2016 return? I filed 2017, 2018, n 2019 in the same account.

You will need to use the Account Recovery tool to access a different TurboTax account if you are unable to log into it. Please see this TurboTax FAQ:
