You can access your prior year returns using the Documents tab in the navigation. 

  • When you sign in, make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years.
  • Select Documents from the navigation when it appears.
  • Use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose the tax year you want and then select Download PDF.

I also saved my 2018 tax info on turbo tax, but didn't complete it. It filed an extension with Turbo Tax, but wasn't able to pay what I owed at that time.  I would now like to finish the process, but don't know how to retrieve the info that I saved with Turbo.  Can you help???

To access your 2018 tax return follow these steps.

  • Sign into TurboTax account using the same username you used for your 2018 tax return.
  • Your TurboTax tax return should now open and allow you to complete it.
