Hi, I am attempting to file my 2019 taxes late. I’m filing my taxes now and notice that everything says 2020 so I’m sure I’m doing the wrong one

The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2020.

 

To complete and file a 2019 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2019 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

A 2019 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Sorry you are too late to start or finish online. Online has closed for 2019. 2019 is now the prior year. The Online version is only for 2020. You have to switch to the Desktop program.  So you better clear out the online version so you can use it for 2020.

Did you already pay for the Online version ? Ask support to give you the Download Desktop program.
Contact Customer Service 5am-5pm Pacific Time Monday -Friday

You will need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on.


You will have to print and mail 2019 and earlier now. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.
Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

 

OR If you want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..

Here is the IRS 2019 Form 1040

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

You can download products purchased from TurboTax from your Download Account.   Use that link and sign into the account that you used when you made the purchase.    If you have multiple accounts and are unsure which account you used - please see How many Intuit Accounts do I have with TurboTax?    @Charlie50840
