I knew I had to paper file 2021. My suggestion is for TurboTax to enable the ability to use the desktop software to eFile if using an IPPIN like other online software such as OLT or FreeTaxUSA. People would appreciate the usability of such a versatile product with the capability to eFile previous years and the ability to even eFile an Amended Return. Wouldn’t you agree? The IRS should have just continued allowing people to eFile 2021 after the Nov 2024 eFile shutdown and the eventual eFile online date of January 27, 2025. It was ridiculous to force people to paper file for such a small window between November 30, 2024 and April 15, 2025. I know of several people who had an IPPIN which would facilitate an eFile of a previous year yet when told they must paper file, they decided to forfeit their last chance to claim their Recovery Rebate Credit. Crazy I know, but I have witnessed more than one paper file get lost in the mail..
