2021 can't be done online anymore. you must buy the program and install it on your PC full windows or MAC.

it's available from Intuit or other authorized retailers. Be careful some websites offer it at a steep discount, but you may be getting malware. Also, you won't be able to e-file.

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.
