I paid for my 2019 Taxes and have them completed, my son needs to do his 2019 taxes. Can he use the software that I paid for in 2019?

(We would like to not pay another 80 dollars if we don't need to).

Depends.  Did you use the Online version or buy the Desktop CD/Download program?  Online is only good for 1 return.   The Desktop program can do multiple returns.  If you used the Desktop program go up to File-New

 

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.

 

If you have a simple return and want to file 2019 for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

 

Here is the 2019 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

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.

@mendicinod - be aware that the deadline for obtaining a refund for the 2019 tax year is July 15, 2023 (unless an extension was originally requested and then it's Oct 15, 2023) - after that date, the IRS will not refund anything related to 2019, but if you owe, you still owe.
