I started last years taxes (2016) and never filed them. Can I still access them? If I pay to download them can I still retrieve them or is it too late?

No. You cannot access a tax return from Turbotax that was not filed in 2016 online with Turbotax.  Turbotax online works only for current year (2017) taxes.

If you want to use TurboTax for any other year you will need to purchase the Desktop Version for each year that you need to file. You can do that at this link:

See Turbo Tax FAQ on "How Do I file a prior year tax return?" for more information.

If you do not want to use Turbo Tax, you can download the Forms and Instructions free from the IRS web site at this link:

In any event, you have to file the return by mail. Turbotax does not support e-file of prior year returns. Tip: If you prepare multiple years of prior returns, mail each one to the IRS in a separate envelope to be sure that each one is recognized as a separate tax return.
