I'm trying to see how this is going to work out if you will. I didn't file in 2018. I notice while filing 2019 at some point I was ask did I file 2018? I stated no so that I could go ahead get penalized or whatever. I paid taxes throughout the year each pay so I would not have to pay at the end of the year. however, I got a little more after ready to efile. I'm wondering if IRS included 2018 with my 2019. I don't know how this works and hope it can be explained. I was accepted on the 8th and IRS has received my taxes being processed.

You only filed a return for 2019. You cannot add 2018 income to a 2019 return, so hope you did not try to do that. No, the IRS will not "include 2018 with 2019."

It is not too late to file a 2018 return

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2018 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
