You can edit returns for the current and two prior tax years using the TaxAct Online program. Returns over two tax years old are unable to created or edited. You can access pdfs and print copies of returns that you previously e-filed or paid for in TaxAct Online as far back as 2019. If you need access to other return years, see Request a Copy of Your Return.

To access a return from the current or prior tax year, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your TaxAct account online.
2. Under My Returns & Details, choose the appropriate year from the drop-down list.
   • If your desired return year does not appear in the drop-down list, it may be because it is older than two tax years old and no longer available. If you have previously paid for or e-filed the older return, you may be given the option to print or save the return as a PDF (see View Return as PDF).
3. Locate your return and click Open Return.
   
   • If you have previously printed or e-filed your return, you will see a Save as PDF option to the left of the Open Return button.
   • The return will be downloaded as a PDF, which can be opened on a device that has a web browser or PDF reader. If you do not see the link, go to the FAQ View Return as PDF instead.

NOTE If you have not previously printed or e-filed your return, you may not be given the option to view your return.

If using the TaxAct Desktop or TaxAct Professional Editions, TaxAct does not archive returns on your TaxAct online account. For more information, see:
