Can my daughter still file her 2019 taxes?

Yes, but she cannot use the Online version.  The Online version is only to prepare the current years tax return (now is 2020).  To file a 2019 return with TurboTax, your daughter will need the 2019 Desktop software (you install on your computer).  You also need to mail in the return, you cannot e-file the 2019 return.

 

You can purchase the Desktop software from TurboTax at the following link: (or you can check a site like Amazon for the software)

Can my daughter still file her 2019 taxes?

Yes but she cannot use online TurboTax.   Online is for 2020 returns--no other year.

 

Online preparation and e-filing for 2017, 2018 and 2019 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2017, 2018, or 2019 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 UPS or 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.

 

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.

 

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  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.
