How do I get CPA help via TurboTax?

kevinbaker2275 — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 04:29:01 GMT

I would like to file back taxes from 206 to 2018 plus 2019 over the next few weeks. Prior taxes were done by a CPA. I am now looking to do the taxes myself (I am new to TurboTax) with as needed help from a CPA through Turbotax. I seem to recall seeing an option to get CPA help (fee for service) but I cannot find it anymore. Can somebody show me where it is located? Thank you!

The Live CPA help is only for current 2019 Online returns.

You can only buy the Desktop download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. You can buy any version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. Buy the download here

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.

I filed my taxes 4/03/2020 and need help because I have several questions after looking at some of the entries that were not explained before I filed.

Try asking here, we can probably explain it. Might be quicker than calling in.

Charitable contributions?

Check entry 1040/1040s charitable contributions have an unacceptable level. I do not understand this.No matter the value I put it it will not correct/accept.

The charitable contribution limit for 2020 is $300 if you itemize your deductions. Maybe you are entering to much for that entry.
