Not using the current year's turbotax. You would have to get a copy of TurboTax for 2008. Looks like you can buy old copies on Amazon. You will have to file on paper.

Note that you cannot file a return from 2008 at this point and get a refund. The statute of limitations has run.

It would make perfect sense to file a 2008 tax return if the IRS had prepared a SFR (substitute for return) and you owe money. By filing an original return you would probably reduce the amount you owe.
