I want to download the desktop version

Yes you have to buy each year separately.  Unless you want to download the blank forms from the IRS and fill them out by hand.  I have links for all the years.  What years do you need to file?

Thanks Amy.  I downloaded 2019 but I need 2022 to prepare 2021 returns.  Is that ready yet??

You mean 2020 to prepare 2021.

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

I want to download the desktop version

I bought the Home and Business Desktop version and it's supposed to be ready by Nov.  Have you received 2021 download for 2022 yet?

If you purchased the 2021 Home & Business download edition from this TurboTax website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

Then your download should be available when you sign onto your download account here - https://shopping.turbotax.intuit.com/unified/downloads?route=myaccounts

I want to download the desktop version

I used that link.  I purchased the Advantage program for $110.00 on Dec 2021 for download and have not received my order number or license code for the 2021 tax preparation software.  The date shows I will receive my next down on Nov 2022.  I need the software now and it's past that date.  The only download I got was 2019. Don't need that one.

@johnalletto1 You did not order your 2021 tax software from the Advantage program in time, so the order you placed recently is for 2022 software that you will want next year.  You can purchase the CD download using the TT site or a variety of other retailers:

 

2021 TURBOTAX

 

CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

You had to start or update your Advantage subscription before November 2021 to have the 2021 tax software available to you as a CD or Download.   Since you updated the Advantage subscription in December 2021 it will only be for the 2022 software available in November 2022.

 

If you do not have a charge from TurboTax for the software then it has not been ordered.  Go ahead and purchase the 2021 software from the TurboTax website and download it - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

If you do not need the 2019 software -

Go to this TurboTax website to request a refund for the software purchased from TurboTax - https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/forms/refund-request.jsp

@LJohnson21

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

 

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

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

 

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.

 

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
