File old Taxes (2020-22) using IRS Transcripts

How do you file old taxes using IRS transcripts? I found a site where I can do it for free but im not sure if I’m putting in the correct information online while looking at a IRS Transcript sheet. I want to know if someone can guide me on exactly how to fill it out so I’m doing the information correctly. I already have my IRS Transcripts and I’m using them to file for the previous years of 2020-22.  The site I want to use is FreeTaxUSA. I will posting a document of what it looks like to add in the information. But it’s confusing so I’m not sure how to input it in correctly. 

For the next picture, it shows that anytime I click on “I don’t have W-2s “ it redirects me back to the page to select which to input money into. Should I be selecting that I do have the W-2s since I have a transcript?? I’m not sure I need clarification! 

 

Last picture it shows what it information it would need if I selected “Yes I have my W-2s” should I do this instead? It has the employee and employer information on this page if I need to put it in

 

 

Please Help!

 

Thank you!

Ideally, you would enter the wages as w2s. If you can locate the EIN, address, etc, then that is your best option. If you are unable to enter the information for the w2s, there should be a spot for other income. You could enter the amounts there.

So I should be selecting “Yes I have W2s” how do I do that if I’m looking at a irs transcript?

Thats why I sent the documents for you to see because im not sure where to input it. And I only get the last four numbers of the EIN number so i dont believe that will work
