Can I use 2019 TurboTax software to file taxes in 2020?

I have the TurboTax Home and Business 2019 software, I'm wondering if I can use this to file my 2020 taxes, or if I need to get the 2020 software/use the online edition?

No.    Each tax year has its own software.   You cannot use 2019 software to prepare a 2020 tax return.   You need 2020 software

2020 TURBOTAX

 

CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

And just so you know—online prices go up in March
