If you can't install the Desktop program or if you have a simple return and want to file for free, you can print out the blank IRS forms and fill them out. Here are some basic forms…..
Here is the IRS 2024 Form 1040
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2024.pdf
or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2024.pdf
And 2024 Instructions
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2024.pdf
Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2024.pdf
Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2024.pdf
Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2024.pdf
Then when you do file 2025 enter 0 for the 2024 AGI since you are filing 2024 late.
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.
