It is way too late to use TurboTax for a 2012 return. The software is no longer available. You could get the forms from the IRS to prepare by hand. You will not receive a tax refund for a 2012 tax return, even if one is shown as a result of preparing the return. If you owe the IRS they still want you to pay.

The statute of limitations for receiving a tax refund is three years from the filing deadline, and you are way past the filing deadline for 2012. The filing deadline was in mid-April of 2013 so you had until April 2016 to get a refund for a 2012 tax return. But--the IRS always wants you to pay tax due if you owe.
