I just found some W-2's from 2016. How can I go back and file them. I have used TurboTax for the last 2 yrs

    If you never filed a 2016 tax return then you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2016 desktop editions from this TurboTax website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

    A 2016 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

     

    If you did file a 2016 tax return then you would need to file an amended tax return for 2016 to add the 2016 W-2's.

    See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2016 tax return originally completed and filed using TurboTax - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/amending/help/how-do-i-amend-a-return-in-turbotax/01/26768

    FYI ... it is now too late to get a 2016 refund  but you must file if you have a requirement to do so and/or you owe.   And the 2016 program  will only be supported for another 3 months so if you need it get it soon.    https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
