No.   The deadline to file a 2020 tax return and get a refund was May 17, 2024.  Any refund for 2020 has been forfeited.   TurboTax no longer provides software for 2020 returns nor would it be supported or provided with updates even if you can find it on eBay, etc.

google it to find 2020 tax return filing (for free, no less).

But, as pointed out, no refund will be issued.

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

 

Here is the 2020 1040 return
