What tax year are you trying to work on?   The current online software is only for 2021 returns -- no other year.  You cannot use online for 2020.    And when you prepare 2020 using the correct software you will not need your 2019 AGI since you cannot e-file it.   2020 has to be mailed.

 

 

Online preparation and e-filing for 2018 and 2019 and 2020 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2018, 2019 or 2020 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

 

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.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

 

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.

As mentioned, if working on your 2020 tax return, you cannot use the online version of Turbo Tax. In order to prepare a prior year tax return, you will need to use our download version from that year. Here is a link to the product.
