Turbotax Online works only for current year  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 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

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.

That's because you can not use the online version of the program to file prior year's taxes. You have to purchase the CD/Desktop version of the 2014 program, download it, then install it on your computer. Then you'll use it to complete and file your 2014 taxes. Note also that a prior year return can not be e-filed either. You have to print it, sign it, and mail it to the IRS.
