Hi, Im seeking guidance to help my son file his taxes. He failed to file his 2018 tax returns. Can he still file with Turbo Tax electronically?

e filing is closed. his return will have to be printed and mailed.   attach W-2's if any other forms with withholding.     if he's in a state that has income taxes be sure to file that return also. it too will require W-2 and withholding forms with sate withholding.    follow TT filing instructions.  use a service where you can get proof of delivery or tracking info.   

if it isn't finished, you can not complete it online.

Start by purchasing and downloading the software and install it on your computer. If you're also filing a state, be sure to download and install the corresponding state program.

Now sign in at TurboTax.com using the same login you used to prepare your prior-year return.
If you don't remember it, try account recovery. Still no luck? Then just start over in the TurboTax software you downloaded and skip the rest of these instructions.
Under Your tax returns & documents, select Download .tax file (not the PDF) for 2018 and save it to your computer.
Back in the CD/download software, select Find a Tax File, and then browse to the tax data file you downloaded in the previous step.
Select the file and click Open.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

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.

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.
