You CANNOT mix income from different tax years onto the same tax return ... each year MUST be filed separately. Only the 2019 return can be completed with the current online program.
How do I prepare a prior-year tax return?
If you need access a TurboTax Online return that you already filed, we've got instructions for that.
If you started an online return but didn't complete it before the mid-October shutdown, we can help you finish it.
