You can only buy the download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. Buy the download here

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.



Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.



If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. You have 3 years to file for a refund. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

You can use TurboTax to create, complete and file prior year tax returns, 2015 thru 2017, by purchasing, downloading and installing on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year needed from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

Prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, they cannot be e-filed.  When mailing multiple tax years use a separate envelope for each tax year.

TurboTax does not support tax years prior to 2015.
