If I need to file taxes from previous years, do I need to purchase software for each year I need to file?

Yes.  Each year is a separate program just for that year.

 

TurboTax online and e-file for 2018 ended on Oct 15, 2019. 2018 (and earlier tax years) can now only be completed using the CD/download software installed on a Mac or Windows computer. The return must be printed, signed and mailed.

2016-2018 software can be purchased here:

Yes, tax software is year-specific and can only be used to file taxes for that specific year as tax laws and tax forms change.
