I have 2020, 2021, and 2022 taxes to file. If I pay the $80 to file the 2020 taxes, does that include my 2021 year as well? Or will I have to pay another $80 to do 2021?

I have worked the same job during the time, so all I have to file is a simple tax return. W-2 and 1095-C alongside the Stimulus checks.

Each tax year requires it's own program and there is a fee for each and every downloaded program. Only the 2022 return can be efiled ... the others must be printed, ink signed and mailed.

Sorry you have to buy and do each year separately. So you need to buy 2021 also or get the blank forms from the IRS and fill them out by hand for free.

Buy 2021 here,

You need software for EACH year.

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 2019. Any earlier years can only be prepared on paper forms by hand--and those refunds have been forfeited now.

The current online program can only be used for a 2022 return--no other year. And if you did not file a 2021 return you will have trouble e-filing 2022. When it asks for your 2021 AGI try using zero. If zero does not work then you have to print, sign and mail 2022

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

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.

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 UPS or 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.

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.
