Filed Extension for TY2019 in 2020 Never returned or paid - what now?

[HisRoyalTaxiness]

So I prepared my return for TY2019 in 2020 on turbotax online from what I remember completed (or nearly so) - and then filed an extension but then never returned to file it prior to extension deadline and didn't pay on time.  I know I owe late fees + penalties.  But my question is, how do I file that once extended return and pay the necessary taxes + penalties + fees for state(s) + federal?  Can it still be done online via turbotax?  I did download the tax file and install turbotax for 2019 windows version, but I'm wondering if this is only for doing amendments?

Sorry, Online for 2019 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2019 or prior return or finish one. Online is only for 2020. Oct 15, was the last day to efile.  2019 is now the prior year. If you entered 2019 into the 2020 online version you should clear out your online return so you can use it for 2020.

You can only buy the download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. Buy the download here

You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.

Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. You have 3 years to file for a refund. 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.

If you want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..

Here is the IRS 2019 Form 1040
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2019.pdf

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2019.pdf

And 2019 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2019.pdf

2019 Tax and EIC Tables

Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2019.pdf

Then when you do file 2020 enter 0 for the 2019 AGI since you are filing 2019 late.

I have links for other years too.

Oh I missed you said you did download the .tax2019 file and the Windows program.  I don't know if you have the full program or just the one to amend.  I don't know how to tell.

Just one question, can I import the 2019 online tax file into turbotax 2019?

[HisRoyalTaxiness]

I downloaded the amend version but am now realizing it is only for filing amendments

Also I was driving lyft, does that mean I need the 2019 Home and Business edition since I was self employed?

[ColeenD3]

Yes, you will need Home and Business.

For tax years 2019, 2018, or 2017

You'll need to purchase and download the TurboTax software for PC or Mac as TurboTax Online and the mobile app are only available for the current tax year.

After installing the software, open it and follow the onscreen instructions.

Prior year returns must be paper-filed, as e-filing is no longer available. We'll walk you through that process when you get to the File section in the software.
