File old tax returns

TurboTax supports prior year tax returns for tax years 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

You will have to purchase and download one of the TurboTax desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

Prior year tax returns can only be printed and mailed using TurboTax, they cannot be e-filed.

Or if you have a simple return you can get the blank forms from the IRS and fill them in by hand for free.  I have a list of some of the basic ones I can post direct links to.

if the returns are for 2018 or earlier you have lost the ability to obtain any refunds. each of those returns has to be filed within 3 years of their due date. for 2018 the latest date to file was 4/15/2022 (10/15/2022 if extended) 

however, if you owe, the IRS can come after you at any time.
