2020 Taxes

Hello,

I filed my 2020 Federal taxes on Turbotax but did not file my State return. I printed my federal return and mailed it in. How can I file my state return? I am also unable to pull up my 2020 federal return on Turbotax. Can you please advise?

Thank you

2020 Taxes

If you prepared a 2020 state return back then....in 2021.....you can print it and mail it in now.   You will not get a refund since 2020 refunds have been forfeited.   If you did not prepare a site return for 2020 yet, you will not be able to use TurboTax to do that.  Software for 2020 is no longer available.    You can prepare it on paper forms from the state and mail it in.   You will need information from the 2020 federal return that you filed.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2025 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
