TurboTax no longer has software for 2019; it is not supported or provided with updates even if you can find it on eBay, etc. You can still get the desktop download software for 2021 to use on a full PC or Mac. A 2021 return can only be filed by mail; it cannot be e-filed. If you did not request an extension for 2021 by the filing deadline in 2022, you have forfeited your 2021 refund; if you owe tax due for 2021, it is owed with late filing penalties and interest.
You can use online TurboTax for a 2024 return until October 15, 2025, and then online will become unavailable for 2024, and you will need desktop software for 2024.
You cannot change the tax year. The current online program is for 2024 only. Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.
Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and 2023 is permanently closed.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

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 certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
You could seek other tax software for 2019 by googling to see which software companies might still offer 2019, or you could seek local paid tax help, or you can use paper forms to prepare 2019 by hand.
