TurboTax Account and Previous Returns

I've been using TurboTax for over a decade (or two) and have always used the software installed on my PC (purchased from Staples, on line, etc.). When I logged into my Turbo Tax account to access my files, it told me there was nothing out there. Do I need to upload my tax return after I file or something to attach my information to my account?

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
