How do you go back and file a previous years state return because you freakin forgot?

e-filing a previous year is closed so now you'll have to print it and mail it in according to the Turbotax filing instructions. make sure to attach any withholding forms.

If the state tax return was completed but never filed and you used the TurboTax online editions - 

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the state.  Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld.  

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.

If you also forgot to prepare that past year state return, but prepared the federal return using TurboTax, then you can use the CD/download software to prepare the state return and then print it and mail it in.   It is not possible to use online TurboTax or send an e-filed return for a past tax year.

You need to use the exact account and user ID that you used for the federal return to get access.

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 and/or your state received the return.
