I was late in submitting returns in 2020 and 2019. Are you able to help file for previous years? How does it work?

To complete and file a prior year (2022 thru 2020) tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 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.

When mailing multiple tax years use a separate envelope for each year.

 

TurboTax does not support tax yeas prior to 2020.  And the 2020 tax year will be discontinued after April 15, 2024.

As for 2019---you are too late to file a 2019 return and receive a refund.   If you were getting a refund for 2019, it has been forfeited and will not be paid.  But if you owe tax due for 2019 you still have to pay the IRS with late penalties and interest.   Software is no longer available for 2019.  We can give you a link to the forms to prepare by hand.
