Your TurboTax program automatically saves the files. Bring up the program and search for the file assuming you completed your 2019 taxes by filling in the data. Should be there.

Since no information is provided, I'll assume you are using Online TurboTax. Online TurboTax quit using the term "Tax Timeline" about 4 years or so ago. That section is now called "Your Tax Returns & Documents."
Are you trying to find a past return to download or print?
If you used Online TurboTax, then when you log in, you should be at the Tax Home. Scroll down the page to the section"Your Tax Returns & Documents". Expand that section and choose the tax year in question. Then choose the link "Download/print the PDF."
If you explain what you need to do, we may be able to suggest more. If you are looking for a prior return and don't find it in that section, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts.

Are you trying to download/print a prior-year return prepared in Online TurboTax? This thread title is about 2019 TurboTax. Is that your situation?
If so, see the answer I just left you in this thread where you asked about your "Tax Timeline"---a term no longer used at the website. That section is now called "Your Tax Returns & Documents." When you expand that section, choose the tax year you want. If your prior Online return is not in that section, then you likely have multiple accounts that we can help you troubleshoot.
In some instances, the prior-return PDFs have the return and all the worksheets. Your 2019 PDF will likely have the return and the worksheets.
If you're trying to download/print a current 2020 return that was prepared in Online TurboTax, we can tell you a way to get a PDF that also has all the worksheets.

You filed a 2019 tax return? When did you file?
Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.
You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/270...
If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.
If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
Or request a transcript from the IRS
