How to add 2019 federal tax refund to 2020 form

A federal tax refund is not entered on a federal tax return.

 

Or are you asking about applying a 2019 federal tax refund to the 2020 federal tax return because you selected that option on your 2019 tax return.

To complete and file a 2019 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2019 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

A 2019 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

 

If the 2019 return has already been filed you will need to amend the 2019 return to add the W-2.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2019 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-my-turbotax-online-return/00/27577
