You can’t do it online. Buy and download the program for the appropriate year and mail the return.

@angelagibson2      Online is only good for the current year. For prior years you need to buy the Desktop program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You have to file each year separately.


How to prepare a prior year return

To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.


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.
