I need to do my 2015-2019 taxes, starting with 2015. You sent me a link for 2015 & 2016 a few weeks ago & I didn’t have all my forms. Now I can’t find it. I need the Free file tax links for all years 2015-2019. Please forward so I can get caught up during this COVID stay home order . Thanks

Sorry you can only use Turbo Tax for 2016-2019. You can only do 2019 online.

For 2016-2018

Sorry, Online for 2018 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2018 return or finish one. Online is only for 2019. Oct 15, 2019 was the last day to efile. 2018 is now the prior year.

You can only buy the 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. 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.

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

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. You have 3 years to file for a refund. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Do you want the links for other years?

Thank you Very much! I have printed out all the forms & instructions, so I will be competing & mailing them this week. I wish Turbo Tax went back 7-10years for convenience for customers.

Thanks again & be strong against COVID 19 🙂
