How do I prepare a prior-year tax return?
If you need access a TurboTax Online return that you already filed, we've got instructions for that.
If you started an online return but didn't complete it before the mid-October shutdown, we can help you finish it.
Tax years 2015, 2016, and 2017
- Select your TurboTax product for the year you'd like to file. (Unfortunately, TurboTax Online is only available for the current tax year.)

- Purchase your TurboTax product.
- Download and install your TurboTax product.

- When finished, print and file a paper return through the mail. (Prior-year returns cannot be e-filed.)
