Hello

 

can I e-file my 2018 returns in 2020 or after October 15, 2019.

 

my friend files people return & said Yes he can file for me. is this correct? Does Enrolled agents or CPAs have special access?

A 2018 tax return cannot be e-filed using the TurboTax personal editions for tax year 2018.

 

The Intuit Professional Series software can be used to e-file a prior year tax return.

No, not with Turbo Tax.  Maybe a professional CPA or tax place can efile prior years.

I didn’t ask if Turbo tax can efile. I know it can’t. 

I asked if anyone can efile for prior years? Including professionals

Will I be able to get refund check direct deposit? 


@stech Yes, you can get your refund by direct deposit whether you e-file or mail the return.  You can indicate on your Form 1040 that you want direct deposit, and you can enter your banking account and routing number on the tax form.
