How do I access my 2016 Turbo Tax return that was Denied?

My 2016 return was denied due to incorrect pin number, how do I access it now to enter the AGI instead of the pin?

How do I access my 2016 Turbo Tax return that was Denied?

A 2016 tax return can no longer be e-filed, it must be printed and mailed.  There is no need for a PIN or the 2015 AGI when mailing a federal tax return.

You have to sign onto your 2016 online account using the exact same user ID you used to create the account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the user ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your 2016 account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

If you have used and paid for one of the online editions of Plus, Deluxe, Premier or Self-Employed, then when you sign onto your online account and are on the Welcome Home screen, click on My TurboTax at the top of the screen.  When you are on your 2016 Timeline, under the section for SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO, click on either option for Download/print return (PDF) or Download all forms and worksheets

In the section Looking for prior year returns?  Click on Load my tax timeline to access prior year tax returns.

Once the PDF has been downloaded to your computer, you can view or print the return with any PDF compatible viewer, such as Adobe Reader.
