You are too late to use online TurboTax for a 2021 tax return.   The only way to use TurboTax now for 2021 is to purchase the CD/download and use it on a full PC or Mac.   You cannot use it on a mobile device of any sort.  And the return cannot be e-filed; it can only be filed by mail now.   You have to print it, sign it in ink and mail it in.

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.

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

Here is the IRS 2021 Form 1040
