How to Access Previous Tax Returns in TurboTax
📌 Why this matters
You'll need previous returns for loan applications, tax planning, and resolving IRS inquiries. Beyond these obvious uses, having digital copies protects you from the common scenario where your tax preparer closes, changes systems, or loses records. Many people discover years later that their accountant's files are gone, leaving them scrambling during audits or major financial decisions. Your past returns also reveal patterns in deductions and income that help optimize future filings and catch potential amendments you might have missed.
