If you prepared your tax return online with TurboTax, you can download previous year tax returns and then print them using your computer. To do this, log into your TurboTax program, by entering your user name and password, then you will see an option on your Tax Home page for Your tax returns & documents, where you will see the tax returns from previous years that are available to be downloaded.

if you filed using TT software on your desktop/laptop, open the 2020 tax file in TT then click on print center button on top right.  select 'specific form' option from the drop down window that opens.  If you filed online, I'm not sure as I've not done that but if you were provided a PDF file for your records, you should be able open that file and scroll to form 1040 and print that page(s).  Otherwise, you'll need to ask someone that files online..

You can get a copy of your return or transcript (just the numbers) from the IRS.

 

Transcript

A transcript shows most line items including the adjusted gross income (AGI) from your original Form 1040. It doesn't show changes made after you filed your original return. This transcript is only available for the current tax year and returns processed during the prior three years.

 

You can obtain an IRS transcript at Welcome to Get Transcript.

 

An IRS transcript usually meets the needs of lending institutions offering mortgages and student loans.

 

Copy

An actual copy of your tax return costs $50. Complete and mail Form 4506 to request a copy of a tax return. Mail the request to the appropriate IRS office listed on the form. People who live in a federally declared disaster area can get a free copy.

 

Plan ahead. Delivery times for online and phone orders typically take five to 10 days from the time the IRS receives the request. You should allow 30 days to receive a transcript ordered by mail and 75 days for copies of your tax return.
