How do I file last year's taxes? I missed the deadline so I am trying to do both but it is only allowing 2024?

Sorry you have to do each year separately.  Online is only good for 2024 now.

 

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 have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..

Here is the IRS 2023 Form 1040
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf


or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf


And 2023 Instructions
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf


2023 Tax and EIC Tables
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf


Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf
Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf
Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf


Then when you do file 2024 enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.


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.
