How do I file for prior year taxes for 2014, 2015 and 2016? I would like to use TurboTax, is this possible or do I need to file directly with IRS?

You can only buy the download for prior years.  You have to buy a separate program for each year.  They only sell the last 3 years.  You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on.  Buy the download here

You have to print and mail prior year returns.  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.

 

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  You have 3 years to file for a refund.  If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

Need to file 2019 taxes.  Went on your web site and completed everything but see nothing for a receipt or confirmation.

How do I know if it went thru?

When did you "complete everything" for your 2019 taxes?

@Tax-Info1   What did you do online?  Did you buy the Desktop program download?  Or enter your 2019 income into the online web version?  Online is only for 2020.  So if you entered 2019 info it got entered on the 2020 forms.  So hope you didn't file it.   If it got filed as a 2020 return you have a big problem.
