Reopen and review 2020 tax return

I was audited for the tax year of 2020 and IRS wanted proof of my dependence and my earned income credit so I sent him the paperwork I thought was adequate only to hear back from the IRS a couple months later stating they never received the proper paperwork and rather than get my $9800 return I owe them 6500. I haven’t filed my taxes since that year because I am getting robbed and I need help to have that year reviewed or reopened or fixed because this may be incorrect but I recently was told if I don’t have that year fixed I will not be able to get earned income credit for six years after that. Please please help me :(

Did you use the Online version?  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 2023 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2023. I had to go though about 12 screens.

If you want to see the interview steps and questions and your answers, the only way to see what you entered into a prior year online return, would be to download the .tax2020 file and install the 2020 Desktop program to open it.  You can use this article on How to finish a prior year to download the .tax2020 file.

Back when I filed that year I had an attorney friend of mine, who is a family law attorney file my taxes, and when the audit came back, she was unable to help me resolve that, so I believe I e-filed

So if she filed your return you didn't use  Turbo Tax yourself?  If someone else filed your return for you then Turbo Tax can't help with that.

When you go into the account you filed them with, can you see 2020 returns? Please only use one thread for your questions.

 

To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID 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)

 

As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state). 

 

This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.

 

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print.  If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.

 

In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents

I assume you have letters from Arkansas? TurboTax has a special phone number for help with tax letters. Click on the blue button that says "Get help from TurboTax support" after you click here.
