Did you download the PDF of the tax returns?

Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer - https://get.adobe.com/reader/

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto 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)

Why is my PDF downloading as a .txt file in Microsoft Edge?

If you're using TurboTax Online, you may experience Microsoft Edge saving the PDF version of your tax file as a .txt file.

Solution

There are two ways to solve this issue:

1. Change your browser (to Google Chrome or Firefox, for example) and save from there.
2. Replace the .txt extension with .pdf.
