There is not a free edition for tax year 2021, only 2022 and that is one of the online editions.

 

To complete and file a 2021 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2021 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

A 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

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

 

Here is the 2021 1040 return

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

2021 1040 Instructions

2021 EIC and Tax Tables

Schedules 1-3

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.

 

Then when you file for 2022 you need to enter 0 for the 2021 AGI since you are filing 2021 late.
