your only option is to mail in the return.

Make sure to read the Turbotax filing instructions.

The return was just recently rejected? You would have been able to make the changes online up until October.

The online version is only available in that year. Once November rolls around, the prior years program is replaced by the current year.  Right not you cannot log into your Turbo Tax account and change last years return You will have to download the 2020 Turbo Tax program, and bring in the information from your tax return. 

  1. Save your online return as a tax data file.
  2. Sign out of TurboTax Online.
  3. Install your 2021 TurboTax CD/Download.
  4. Once installed, choose File then Open Tax Return in the software.
  5. Browse to where you saved your .tax2021 file, select it, and then select Open.
  6. If you get an error, delete your tax data file and repeat these steps from the beginning.
  7. Optional: Once you've confirmed that your online return opens properly in the software, you can clear your online return.
