I'll take a wild guess at translating that.    Looks like you are using an overzealous spell corrector.   Are you attempting to say you have to file returns for the last 3 tax years?    Only you will know what the specific tax years are that you have to file.    The current tax year that people are still filing is 2023.

Online TurboTax is currently only for 2023 returns.   If you need to file past tax year returns prior to 2023, and if you want to use TurboTax, you'd have to purchase desktop software for each past tax year and install it on your computer.

Or if I didn't translate your issue correctly, please provide a better explanation.

Also, you appear to be using Live Deluxe (at least that is what is displayed underneath your question.)   Is that the product you wanted?   Live Deluxe is an upgraded product that is more expensive than regular Deluxe.    Live Deluxe is $139 for a Federal return and $69 for a state return.  It provides live help from a tax expert during preparation of a 2023 return and a final review of the 2023 return by the expert prior to filing.

Your post:

Your post is tough to interpret----did you proofread it before posting?   It seems like you are asking how to file tax returns for the past several years.

Each tax year has to be filed separately using the software and forms for the specific tax year.  They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.  Software for past years is available back to 2020.   But, the deadline to receive a refund for tax year 2020 is past, so if you file a 2020 return you will not receive the refund.

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2023 only.   Only a 2023 return can be prepared online and only a 2023 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2020, 2021, and  2022 is permanently closed.

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.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2020, 2021, or 2022  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

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.

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.
