2. Click the Taxes tab in the top-left corner.

I think I may have accessed answer. I can retrieve 2017 & 2016 but nothing earlier. I  bought and used turbo Tax discs since 1993. I need 2000. Help! Gene

if you are looking for the disc itself, look on e-bay...there are plenty for sale.

Maybe you used a different account name?

Perhaps you have an additional account that you forgot about.

@Bees - I think he is looking for his 2000 return and I can’t imagine there was online versions back then —— everything was mailed discs back then

There is no way to get a 2000 tax return copy if you did not save one.

I hope you are not right. I do my taxes by purchasing the CD. I have my installation CD for Tax Year 2000. But I installed it on a computer that I no longer have. I also have a floppy file of my 2000 taxes but thus far have been unsuccessful in trying to upload it to either my Windows 7 equipped Toshiba laptop or my old  Windows XP equipped Dell desktop. Any ideas anybody??? Gene

i am unclear of your issue 

do you have the 2000 turbo tax program - yes or no

The 2000 CD (or whatever the media was in 2000) probably will only install on a computer that has a 2000 era operating system, however the "out of the box" media is the first release of the tax software issued before the IRS forms are all finalized, and is useless without the updates that add the necessary forms.   Updates for for 2000 are not available anywhere.

And if your return and tax file includes a state, it will not even load without first installing the state software which is not available for any year prior to 2014.

If you have old .tax files you can try converting them to pdf files at  Www.Taxprinter.Com 

It might be expensive.  They are not connected with Turbo Tax.  Use it at your own risk.

I have every disk back to  1995 

my recollection: 

rhe way it worked in 2000 was a prelim disk was mailed in December and a final disk was mailed later ; there were no weekly updates the way TT administers the forms updates today via the internet 

so if you have a 2000 disk, if it is marked as “final” , then that is what was used for federal returns 

there was a separate desk for “state” - I think all the states were on the one disk; there was no preliminary disk for state so the 2000 disk is the final state disk 

[Critter]

First even if you have the disc I highly doubt it will install on a current OS ... and even the IRS doesn't have files that old ... so the real question is WHY do you need a copy of a return that old ?

I need to find out how much Depreciation I claimed on a rental property I sold that year. Thanks for any help. Gene
