2021 efiling

abarnes99 — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:45:26 GMT

I keep getting an error message when trying to efile a 2021 return. It indicates that I need to download an update but when I try to do that the message says that the software is already up to date.

Any thoughts??

Sorry you can't efile 2021 or a prior year return from Turbo Tax. You have to print and mail it. Just ignore the efile error message.

In the FILE tab your only valid option is to print & mail the return ... go back and choose that option then the forms needed to be mailed and the mailing instructions will be populated.

oh shoot! I thought that you could efile current year and two years back but that is fine.

Thanks for the quick answers.

Only professional programs used by paid tax pros may be able to file 3 tax years however at this time none of the DIY programs have that ability.
