I have no forms I have misplaced them. Can I still do my taxes with a turbotax assistant?

If you mean you don't have the base documents like W-2's and 1099's an assistant will not help.

I suggest you file an extension and go about gathering the documents.

 

If you need more time, you can file for an extension with TurboTax.

 

See TurboTax Desktop in How do I file an IRS tax extension?

 

  • Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT extend the time to pay your taxes.
  • If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties

This will give you until 15 October 2025 to file your taxes.

If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.

 

To file for extension in the TurboTax program

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. There will be 4 green boxes
  5. Select Tax Topics
  6. Type Extension
  7. You can start the extension process
