How can I -- an Alaska resident -- download and pay for a 2018 TurboTax Delux Program for preparation & late mailing of just a Federal return (no state income tax) ?

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

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

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.

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.

 

 

NOTE  You might be able to find 2018 Deluxe without state software for a lower price on Amazon, Walmart, etc.  But purchase it from a familiar reputable retailer.
