Can I e-file my 2020 tax return which i never filled. I didn't get any of the COVID-19 Stimulus Checks for 2020?

I can't find a way to e-file it from "Turbotax"? Any help would be appreciated.

@p3p5170 - the only way to use Turbo Tax for 2020 is to download the software to a PC/ laptop....that is the only way to get the 1st two stimulus payments

Sorry but you cannot efile the 2020 return ... in the FILE tab you must choose to mail in the return then the PDF file will have the forms you need to mail and the mailing instructions in them.

Thanks for the fast reply! Can I e-file it after i pay for the desktop Turbo tax version(i guess i pay the cheapest version?)?  I live outside US already and will be very clumsy to send it from here by the post.

So, I have to file it, print it, and send it by post? I live outside US, will be hard to send it. Are you sure efile is not available ?

@p3p5170 E-filing for a 2020 return has been permanently closed since mid-October of 2021.   The only way to file a 2020 return is by mail.   And....just so you know----it is taking the IRS at least six to nine months to process mailed returns so do not expect quick results.
