How do I file late for 2023 taxes

To file for 2023 you have to use the desktop TurboTax software for 2023. You can purchase a download at the following link.


Past Years' Products


The desktop TurboTax software can only be used on a Windows or Mac computer, not on a mobile device or a Chromebook.


Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print your 2023 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. When you file by mail you have to attach copies of your W-2s and any W-2G or 1099-R that has tax withheld. We suggest that you mail it by certified mail with a return receipt so that you get tracking and confirmation of delivery. Mail your federal and state tax returns in separate envelopes, because they go to different places. Follow the filing instructions that TurboTax prints.

 

How do I file late for 2023 taxes

Hello, I started my refund for 2023 before the deadline, but I had lost one of my w2s so I did not complete it. I just now got it. The rest of my w2s were loaded into my return here that I started. Am I not to access what I had already done for 2023 now? I have to do everything by mail? I only have w2s, I don't owe money.

Thank you

How do I file late for 2023 taxes

 You will be able to access the 2023 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 2024  return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

 

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2023 returns 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 2023 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 9p.m. Pacific time daily

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.
