Hello I need to file 2020's and 2021's tax return. I believe I am just missing one document from 2020 will turbo tax be able to locate that for me?

What document?  Turbo Tax probably can't help you get it.  You have to get another copy from the employer or issuer.  You have to do each year separately.

Sorry it's too,late to start a 2020 online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS.

To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

Here is the 2020 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

Don’t forget your state.  And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Then when you file for 2021 you need to enter 0 for the 2020 AGI since you are filing late.

No.  TurboTax does not find and send information to their clients.  You have total access to all tax information that you have entered into TurboTax.  If you need copies of documents from prior years you can log into your account and view or print any document that is saved there.  Here is how to view or print prior year returns.

Here's how to obtain copies of a prior year return(s) you filed in TurboTax Online:

1. Sign into your TurboTax account (if not already)
2. Click on My TurboTax  (click on My Tax Timeline in the drop down menu)
3. Scroll down where is says "Prior Year Return(s)" click on Load My Tax Timeline
4. On the Tax Timeline screen, click the tax year you need
5. On the right side, select Download/print return (PDF) (if you just need a printout)

If you don't see your tax year listed, you may have multiple accounts.
