To get a list of your User IDs and recover account access, you can use the tool at the link below.  Try using your phone number since you can no longer access your email address.   If the phone number doesn't work, I've provided a different method at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number, and since you can't access the same email address,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

I cannot access Turbotax, despite putting in username and password. Turbotax sent me a verification code, which I input, but still doesn't access account. What do I do next?

If you cannot log into Turbo Tax at the Sign In screen, go down to I forgot my TurboTax User ID or password.

 

If you can log into TurboTax successfully, then you can check your account with Turbo Tax by using this link.  It will take you to Account Recovery, where you can update your information.

Need Gross amount from my 2018 taxes

Expert Alumni

The IRS requires that your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your tax return from the previous year be included with any tax return e-filed this year.

 

If you had filed with TurboTax last year, the AGI would have been automatically added to the return. If you did not file with TurboTax last year (or if you filed in a different TurboTax account), you will need to enter the AGI from last year manually. The AGI is added near the end of the filing process, just before filing the return.

 

To find the AGI from a different TurboTax account, sign in to that account, then scroll down on the opening page until you get to Your Tax Returns and Documents. Chose 2018 and download your tax return.

 

If your previous year tax returns are not available, you can use the IRS Get Transcript tool. Try the online option first. If you are unable to obtain the transcript online, you can have one sent to the address the IRS has on record for you. You can find IRS Get Transcript here.
