How do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online?
Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print each state tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. Mail each year in a separate envelope. Do not mail two tax returns in the same envelope. We suggest that you mail them by certified mail with a return receipt so that you get tracking and confirmation of delivery. Follow the filing instructions that TurboTax prints.
