@cocob2001 You received an excellent and detailed reply from Champ @Opus 17 regarding your situation. Based on your description of the income you received in those past years, you would not have had a filing requirement unless -- as explained by both of us-- you had over $400 of self-employment income (which would have been from the "freelance" work you did).
I am curious as to how you have "already paid for filing my return" --- using what software? As already explained, TurboTax does not provide software for any tax year earlier than 2021, so there is not a way for you to use TT for 2019 or 2020.
Not sure what the "everywhere" is that told you to file no matter how much income you received, since that is incorrect. It seems that you did not ever reach the level of having a requirement to file a tax return for those years.
Who has to file?
