i have a w2 for 2020 and 2021 that never got filed and i would like to do that please

You will need to amend the 2020 and 2021 tax returns that were filed to add the W-2 for each tax year.

TurboTax does not support tax year 2020 so you will need to access a local tax professional to assist you in amending the 2020 tax return to add the 2020 W-2.

For tax year 2021 -

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

TurboTax no longer provides software for 2020, nor would it be supported or updated even if you find it on eBay, etc.   Any refund for 2020 has been forfeited and will not be paid even if shown on a tax return form.

You can use TurboTax software on a full PC or Mac to prepare a 2021 return.

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed.

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.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

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 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.
