Tax Year Prior to 2020: I want to talk to a HUMAN

[Robert Decker]

Last year I was way short of with holding on my federal taxes for 2019 . I had to pay in quarterly. Will I get a form from the irs for what I paid in, and do I include this on 2021 taxes

They are the best for doing taxes. There is always someone available to talk

I purchased a copy of Turbotax Deluxe from Staples.

I have a MacBook Pro.

When I attach a DVD reader, my mouse stops working.

I have a license code.

How can I simply download my software and then add my license?

@Robert Decker    If you sent in 1040ES estimated payments you need to enter them yourself into your 2021 return.  But you said 2019 you were short.  So did you send in the payments during 2020 for your 2020 return or are you talking about estimates for 2021?

You need to enter them from your own records and bank statements.  You  can type estimates paid in the search box at the top of your return and click Find and it will give you a link to Jump To it.

OR

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to

Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)

Deductions and Credits at top

Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Estimated Taxes - click the start button

Do not enter them as Other Federal Withholding!  Only enter them in one place.

For 2021 Federal Estimated payments should be on 1040 line 26.

@larryuoftn   Yes you can download it.

There should be a card in the CD case on on the CD envelope that says how to download it and you will need the 14 or 16 digit code from it to enter.

Hello everytime I run check for errors i get "prior year tax". what are the asking for?  How much state tax I paid, AGI etc?  Im not sure.  Thank you.

[Critter-3]

If you have a balance due on the return the program is asking for prior year information to reduce or eliminate the penalty. 

[mbarney55]

Maybe i asked the question incorrectly.  Is that number the amount of state taxes i paid last year?

Good luck! They are never available, I've been on hold for 30 minutes.

How do I get a copy of my 2021 tax return? Emailed to me?

how do I get a code to put in 2021 return because I no longer also have a business.I have a code I used last year because I didn’t have a business on 2020. Can I use that code?

If you need a copy of your 2020 tax return,  click this link for instructions on How to Access a Prior Year Return.  We can't email you a copy, sorry.

I'm not sure what 'code' you are referring to in order to remove a business from your return.

If you want to remove a business from your 2021 return, click this link for info on How to Remove a Business.
