I need to file my taxes from 2013 to 2015 and do an amendment on my 2015 can you help
Best answer by xmasbaby0

To file a return for a prior tax year

Only a 2016 return can be prepared online and e-filed. 

 If you need to prepare a return for 2013, 2014 or 2015 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

You cannot e-file a 1040X.  It must be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.

You should be able to go to "file" on the top left and select "update" to update your software.

@Mercy1 You may not realize it but you are posting to a very old thread that was migrated over when the user forum changed in June 2019.  These answers are really much older than they appear.

 

The software for 2013 is not available nor is it supported.    It is too late to prepare a 2013 return or to amend a 2013 return for a refund.
