If you used a tax professional or an online efile service, contact them to see if they can provide copies.
Otherwise, see the instructions for Form 4506 to request a copy from the IRS:

Requesting a complete copy of your tax return is expensive. For many purposes, an account transcript will provide all the information you need for free. See the instructions for Form 4506-T:

If you also need copies of your state returns, you'll have to contact your state's tax department.
