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
1. Select
your TurboTax product for the year you'd
like to file. (Unfortunately, TurboTax Online is only available for the current
tax year.)
2. Select
your operating system.
3. Purchase
your TurboTax product.
4. Download
and install your TurboTax product.
5. Complete
your return in TurboTax. We'll guide you through the process.
6. When
finished, print and file a paper return through the
mail. (Prior-year returns cannot be e-filed.)
Tax years 2014 or earlier
We no longer sell TurboTax
products for 2014 and earlier tax years. You can download prior-year forms and
instructions from the IRS
website.
To access a TurboTax Online
return that you already filed, see
this FAQ instead.
If you started an online
return but didn't complete it before the mid-October shutdown, go
