TurboTax Desktop Software (CD or Download)

We do not maintain copies of your tax return prepared using TurboTax desktop software, not even if it was e-filed. E-filing does not store tax return data on our servers.

If you prepared your tax return using a TurboTax desktop version, search your computer for your tax return file. Follow our instructions for Windows or Macintosh.

After locating your file on your computer, open your tax return in the same tax-year version of TurboTax (for example, open your 2007 return in TurboTax 2007). If you try to open it in the wrong tax year, you'll get error code 539.

  • If you can't find your prior-year TurboTax CD, we'll replace it.
  • If you need to re-download a prior-year version of TurboTax, sign into your account below. (You can download software as many times as needed up to 3 years after purchase.)
  • If all else fails, please see IRS Tax Topic 156 for instructions on requesting a copy of your tax return from the IRS.
