If I purchase TurboTax Deluxe, can it do my 2015 as well as my 2016 taxes ?

[xmasbaby0 · Accepted solution]

No, each tax year requires its own software, because the tax laws change.

To file a return for a prior tax year

Only a 2016 return can be prepared online and e-filed. 

 If you need to prepare a return for 2013, 2014 or 2015 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

  (if you want to prepare on paper for free:  )

You can download the Forms and Instructions from the IRS web site:

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
