    TurboTax does not support tax year 2018.

     

    If you file a 2028 tax return with a tax refund, the refund will not be paid since it is beyond the 3 years from the due date of the tax return.

     

    You can seek out a local tax professional to assist you in completing and filing the 2018 tax 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.

    @Hhgrant Seek local paid help with your 2018 state return or try going to the state's tax site to see if you can get the forms to prepare by hand.   It is too late for you to use TurboTax for a 2018 tax return of any sort.  The software for 2018 is no longer available.    You will need information from your 2018 federal return when you prepare the state return.
