2018 e file with deluxe package

I bought this package from turbo tax for $80 because it said I could e-file my taxes with it even thought the deadline for e-filing has passed. I'm here to figure out with my deluxe package how to do that, since the package stated even though the systems had closed that there was still a way to electronically file. My taxes must be filed immediately and I can't wait on the mail during this Covid-19/Coronavirus pandemic.

Sorry you can only efile current year returns, so only 2019. Don't know what you saw that said you could still efile 2018. Maybe if you go to a local accountant or tax place they can efile prior years.

This support article says prior year returns must be paper filed.

If you bought the 2018 Desktop program you can only prepare a 2018 tax return. You have to do each year separately. You have to buy a new program each year.

To do 2019 you can use the Online web version or buy the 2019 Desktop program.
