Sorry, Online is only for 2023 now. Online for 2022 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2021 or prior return or finish one. You have to do each year separately

To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If you want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..

Here is the IRS 2021 Form 1040

You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.

Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

if you filed a valid extension you have until 10/15/2022 to file your 2021 return. If you are due a refund the longer you delay the longer it will take to get it. if you owe, then penalties and interest are accruing for late payment. Even though the return wouldn't be due until 10/15, payment in full was due 4/15
