You can only do the last 3 years with Turbo Tax.  You can buy the last 3 years of Turbo Tax here,

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

For older returns you have to go somewhere else or get the blank forms from the IRS.  

Here is the link to all the prior year IRS forms

The 2023 return can be done online but for the others you would need the desktop versions. You might not be able to get the older tax years and if you did they might not work on newer computers. You might see if a professional tax preparer in your area could help.

Not 2008… 2018. Sorry, all!

VolvoGirl, THANKS! I appreciate you taking the time to insert the links. I have already gone through and downloaded the 2018 through 2023 forms and instructions. I’m really in a time crunch because my daughter needs me to apply for financial aid for her college by the end of June. I have to overcome my anxiety and take care of business. Wish me luck.

The IRS listing is long and can be hard to scroll to the forms.  Do you want my basic links for 2020-2023 too?

Thank you for the offer, but I downloaded all of the forms based on your initial link.
