how can I get a copy of the turbo tax file that I already submitted this year? I by accident deleted the copies I had on my desktop.

To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into 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)

As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state). 

This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print.  If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.

In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:

1. Sign in to TurboTax
2. Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents
3. Select 2024 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center)
4. From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center
5. Select Print, save or preview this year's return
6. Select the 2024 Federal and/or State return box
7. Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets
8. Select View or Print Forms
