TurboTax only supports tax years 2022 thru 2019.

E-filing is closed for tax year 2022 so you will would need to purchase and download one of the TurboTax desktop editions for each tax year required. The completed tax returns will have to be printed and mailed.

Go to this TurboTax website for the 2022 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

Go to this TurboTax website for the 2021 thru 2019 editions -

Sorry----you are too late to use online for any tax year today. The filing deadline for 2022 returns was at midnight on October 16, so you are too late to even start a 2022 return using online software. And...you have forfeited your refunds for any tax year earlier than 2020 now. Even if you file returns for past years, the IRS will not pay a refund for any year earlier than tax year 2020.

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.

It might be better for you to seek local paid tax help in a situation when you are several years behind in filing your tax returns. Do you even have all of the documents you will need to enter and show your income—like your W-2’s and any 1099’s?

If you want to use TurboTax to prepare tax returns, you will need to purchase the CD/download software and use it on a full PC or Mac--no kind of mobile device. And the returns cannot be e-filed; they must be sent in the mail.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022 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.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
