Haven't filed personal/freelancer taxes since tax year '14 in '15, but know s/get refunds only. Got very ill & hopelessly behind. Is there a TT program that will help me?

Should be no penalties filing late 2015 since I'm owed refunds. But I heard 2015 refunds are forfeited if didn't file for them by 4/15/2019. True?

True ... the IRS only gives you 3 years from the filing deadline  to apply for a refund ... 2015 refunds were forfeited 4/15/19.

Sorry-- the software for 2015 is not even available now, and it is true that you are too late to receive a 2015 refund.  If you want to prepare the 2015 return by hand and mail it here is a link for the forms:

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 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/state received the return.

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.

Usually if you have freelance/self employment 1099Misc income you end up with a tax due on your return unless you made estimated payments or show a Loss on Schedule C.
