I am a low income filer who is eligible for FreeFile. In the past, I've only used the TurboTax Freedom edition. It's got all the forms I need for my 1040 and it's free. I've got some oddball deductions and Freedom edition handles them just fine.
Unfortunately, I was out of the country and missed the October 2019 filing date cutoff for my 2018 return. The TurboTax Freedom edition (and all the other FreeFile resources) have closed for the season. I don't owe any taxes but I do need to file my 2018 return.
Is it possible to file a late 2018 return through FreeFile when the program reopens in January 2020? Or will I be limited to working on my 2019 return?
I prefer doing my taxes online and filing electronically. But I really don't want to pay for a 2018 product download to file my late return. Some of these products are not compatible with their FreeFile edition and won't allow me to import information from the previous year when I prepare my 2019 return.
