Filing 2021 Taxes (Late Obviously) and Need to Download Online Data to Local CD/Computer Version

Hi,

 

I appreciate anyone’s help/advice here greatly.  Here is my situation:  

 

I have yet to file my 2021 taxes due to various personal issues.  I have previously filed my taxes online and on-time for the past 10 years or so using TurboTax including tax year 2020 (the prior tax year).  I know I need to download the 2021 TurboTax program onto my PC since there is no longer an online version for tax year 2021.

 

But before I do that can anyone educate me on how I get the the actual TurboTax 2021 edition on my computer  to import data from my 2020 tax year which is online with TurboTax, so I don’t have to manually re-enter all of it?

 

Thanks so much for your help.  I need it!!!

 

Pete

You will be able to access the return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.

 

Start a 2022 return and enter some personal information so that the menu on the left opens up and allows you to access your 2021 return.

 

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2021returns is now permanently closed.

  

Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2021 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

 

They are available from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Pacific time

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

 

 

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.
