Sorry---2019 software is no longer available. It is too late to receive a refund for a 2019 return---the refund was forfeited several years ago. If you owe tax due for 2019 it is still owed with late filing penalties and interest.

You can prepare and mail a paper return.

And....are you also behind on other past years?

Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms and software 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 2021. 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 2024 return--no other year.

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?

You cannot change the tax year. The current online program is for 2024 only. Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and 2023 is permanently closed.

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.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023 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 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.

Returns for tax year 2020 and earlier are no longer eligible to be filed through TurboTax.

You can get online tax forms and instructions to file your past due return, or order them by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676) or 800-829-4059 for TTY/TDD.

Taxpayers usually have three years to file and claim their tax refunds.

TurboTax does not support tax year 2019.

A 2019 tax return with a tax refund, the refund will not be paid since it is beyond the 3 years from the due date of the tax return.

Seek out a local tax professional who will be able to assist you in completing and filing the 2019 tax return.
