Online is only good for the current year. For prior years you need to buy the Desktop program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You have to file each year separately. Or go to a local tax place. Or if you have a simple return you can get the blank forms and fill them out by hand. I have the IRS links to most of the years.

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.

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.

TurboTax supports prior tax years 2024, 2023 and 2022.

To complete and file a prior year tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the prior desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.
