You will not be able to e-file your return using TurboTax Online. You can complete the 2021 tax return using TurboTax Online. However, you will have to print and mail the return for processing.

If you would like to e-file the return you would have to purchase the TurboTax Desktop software for 2021.

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
