I cannot find how to file a 1040EZ now, after the tax deadline?

How do I file a 1040EZ on 10/31/20 after the deadline? I only see option to file 1040.

A 1040EZ has not existed since 2017.   There is only the 1040 for 2018 and later.

It's too late to file a 2019 tax return with TurboTax Online.
You now have to use the CD or download TurboTax software. You can purchase a download at the following link.

You might get a better price from a reputable online seller that still has TurboTax for 2019 in stock.


It's also too late to e-file a 2019 tax return, even with the CD/Download software. You will have to print your tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. The IRS stopped processing mailed tax returns for several months because of the Covid-19 pandemic. They recently started to process them again, but they have limited staff and a huge backlog, so it will be quite a while before your tax return is processed.
