Yes, you are required to go back to the second oldest year first, which, in this case, is 2011. I do not believe the 2011 free file return is maintained or retrievable on TurboTax but, hopefully, you kept a print out of it in your personal files, as always recommended. You can download and print a Form 1045 from <a href="

www.irs.gov</a> under forms and publications section. You will put the year, 2011, on it. The Form 1045 instructions can also be downloaded from the IRS website. If you do not use up the entire carryback in 2011, then you will next apply it to 2012.
