To file a return for a prior tax year
Only a 2017 return can be prepared online and e-filed.
If you need to prepare a return for 2014, 2015, or 2016 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

It shows 2013. I don't mind mailing it. I just need the cost taken from the tax refund amount.
Not sure if it will let you do that for prior year software. And it is too late to get a 2013 refund.
Better get 2014 filed before April 17, 2018 or it will be too late to get a refund for a 2014 return.
why is it to late to file 2013? I still have to file, right.
Of course you can file the return. But it is past the deadline to receive a refund for a 2013 return. You missed that deadline about a year ago on April 18, 2017. You have 3 years from a filing deadline in which you can still receive a refund. After that, you forfeit the refund.
Can I split a donation over two years. I donated a RV to a animal rescue that they use to shelter some of the animals?
