How to approach prior years tax filing, back to 2014

I know I can file the last few years taxes with Turbo Tax. How do I approach prior years that are no longer supported by Turbo Tax?

 

I do not believe I owe any taxes, in fact I believe I will probably get a refund. I know that refunds are limited to a few years. 

 

Thanks.

You have a three-year window from the original due date, normally the April deadline, to claim your refunds. To file after there’s no TurboTax support you could try downloading the appropriate forms from the IRS site.

Hello Hammerfdk,

 

TurboTax online or desktop downloads are only available for tax year 2020 through 2023 at this time.  There are some options to obtain copies of prior year software:

  • You can see if it is available through a 3rd party vendor
  • You can download the forms needed in fillable PDF format from the IRS website - Prior year forms & instructions 
  • You may need to contact a local preparer for assistance with the prior year returns

You are only able to obtain your refund if you are receiving on for the last three years, refunds for anything older than that are forfeited.
