Multi-member LLCs file a Form 1065 while single-member LLCs file on their individual income tax returns (1040) unless they make an election to be treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes.   Therefore, unless your husband made an election, he would file income and expenses from his LLC on the appropriate schedule on his (or your joint) 1040.

Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year.  They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.  Software for past years is available back to 2022.  Any earlier years can only be prepared on paper forms by hand--and those refunds have been forfeited now.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

@bluemoon it is option, that's all.  Like Desktop?, then stick with it!   Understand the history.  Desktop existed before the internet and smartphones did! Desktop was the only version TT offered thirty years ago!    Over time, TT introduced Online where the profit margins* are MUCH higher! So the option introduced in the Desktop version this year is just another marketing idea to get you to switch.   * on Desktop, you can do tax returns for multiple taxpayers for just one license fee; Online each tax return has a fee.  I do 4 family tax returns on Desktop for that grand total of $70! On line that would probably run $500-$600.
