File prior year state returns

Turbotax does not have a stand alone state tax software. All state returns start with first completing a federal return and then transferring to a state return.

Turbotax Online works only for current year (2016) taxes, and not for any other year.

If you want to use TurboTax for any other year you will need to purchase the Desktop Version and install it on your own computer for each year that you need to file. You can do that at this link:

You can download the Forms and Instructions free from the IRS web site at this link:

http://www.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/priorFormPublication.html

You can find Forms and instructions for your state return at your state's tax website.


In any event, you have to file the return by mail. Turbotax does not support e-file of prior year returns. Tip: If you prepare multiple years of prior returns, mail each one to the IRS in a separate envelope to be sure that each one is recognized as a separate tax return.
