The only way to file it now is by mail. E-filing for all past years is permanently closed. Print, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.

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.

@rakeady You received an email that we cannot see----that email had a rejection message or rejection code telling you why the e-file was rejected. Most rejections are for AGI. E-filing is permanently closed for 2023 returns now, so the only way to file the return is by mail. AGI does not matter when you file by mail.

Print the return, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.

I totally agree with you if I had a copy of my IRS report, but I don’t have it. They try to send it in a document that my iPad can’t even open.

You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

I DO NOT HAVE A PRINTER—WHAT CAN I DO?

We cannot solve your printer problem for you TurboTax cannot print it for you. If you do not have a working printer, you can access your account from any computer that has internet access and print your return. Or save it to a flash drive. Perhaps you need to see if a friend or relative can let you print from a computer with a printer. Or print it at a UPS place or Staples, etc.
