I used 2017 and 2018 home and business to prepare the tax return. I want to amend it. However, I can't start my old computer anymore. Can you help me to download again?

Can I get free 2017 and 2018 software again?

Intuit no longer supports that software.  If you need to amend you will have to go to local tax preparer.

Software for those tax years is no longer available nor would it be supported or updated even if you caan find it on eBay, etc.   Seek local paid help.   And...just so you know.....amending a 2017 or 2018 return will not yield a larger refund.  You are too late to receive a better refund for those years.

@yani8686 what is the reason you are amending so far back?

as others have stated, if youvattempt to claim a refund for those years, it will not be paid.  The deadline to claim a refund is 3 years after the original filing deadline, so even the 2019 tax year is beyond the 3 year limit.

however, if the result of the amendment is you owe, then you owe it.

What is the deadline for filing an amended return? (intuit.com)

Thank you!

I don't need to amend 1040, no refund or extra tax is involved. but I will attach 1040x for sure.

I only need to revise 8582, I didn't put accumulated unallowed K1 loss correctly. I guess I can manually revise it. this needs to be revised from 2015 until 2021.

Should I revise them? the unallowed loss will affect the 2020 and 2021 tax refund.

If you will owe money to the IRS after revising then you should revise and pay what you owe.
