I need to file for a year that has already passed (I was away during tax season and totally forgot to log on when I returned). Can I TurboTax to file an old tax return?

I don't see an option for filing an old return. Unclear if this is even available on turbotax.

To complete and file a prior year (2023 thru 2020) tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

If mailing multiple tax years, use a separate envelope for each year.

Yes, you can file for prior years.

Once you have all the forms you need, be sure to use the tax forms from the year you're filing. For instance, you must use 2020 tax return forms to file a 2020 tax return. You can find these documents on the IRS website. Patience is important when filling out a tax return by hand. And thankfully, you can also file tax returns from previous years using TurboTax.

• Select the year you want to file a return for to get started.
• Then, input your tax information and TurboTax will properly fill out the tax forms.
• You will have to print out and mail in your tax return for previous years as e-filing prior year returns is not an option through TurboTax.
