Sorry you can no longer use Turbo Tax to prepare or amend a 2021 return.   Not Online and not using the Desktop program.  You need to do it yourself or go to a local tax place or accountant.

 

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

 

Here is the 2021 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

Not TurboTax. FREETAX USA supports 2021. There may be other websites.  They are not connected with Intuit/TurboTax. 

as noted, by not timely filing any refund is forfeited. You will have to print it out, attach copies of any withholding forms, and mail. Use a tracking service.
