Sorry 2019 is closed for online and Efiling. 2019 is now the prior year. And you are too late to use the free service.
You now have to print and mail prior year returns. 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.
How to finish a return you started online
To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,
https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.
If you want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms.....
Here is the 2019 1040 return

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.
FYI - Then when you file 2020 next year you will need to enter 0 zero for the 2019 AGI since you are filing 2019 late.
I am still checking my records. It seems like paid $70.00 for 2019. However, are you saying I can not file 2019 with Turbo Tax?

Are you a new poster that has a similar issue to the original thread owner?
This is a user community forum, so we can't tell what you purchased for $70. Did you buy 2019 desktop software (CD/download) from TurboTax last year, or did you start a 2019 return online and paid for 2019 Online TurboTax?
At this point in time you cannot prepare a 2019 return online, since Online TurboTax is now only for 2020 returns. However, you can use 2019 desktop software (CD/download) installed on your computer to prepare a 2019 return. The 2019 return has to be printed, signed, dated, and mailed. It cannot be efiled.
If you already paid for a 2019 TurboTax software product as a download last year, then the download should still be in the Downloads section of your TurboTax account. Or did you pay for Online TurboTax last year? If so, then TurboTax Support should furnish you a download of the 2019 software so you can finish.
