1) Yes....IF you did not file any tax returns for a prior year (meaning 2017 or earlier), and you have one or more W-2 forms for that year, you can prepare them and "mail" them in (no e-filing allowed for any year but 2018 right now..and that ends in mid-October). For the prior year's forms, you have to buy , download and install each year involved separately on a full MAC or Windows computer. Only software back to 2015 is available, (Window 7 or higher works for all years...if for a MAC...depends on what version you are using)
