I’m trying to file past years

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

Online is only good for the current year. For prior years you need to buy the Desktop program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You have to file each year separately.  Or  go to a local tax place.  Or if you have a simple return you can get the blank forms and fill them out by  hand.  I have the IRS links to most of the years.

To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

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.

To complete and file a prior year tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the prior desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.
