TurboTax Basic Online

You cannot file past returns online or e-file. TurboTax only supports the past 3 years (2014-2016) desktop products. You cannot get a refund for any tax year before 2014 since the statute of limitations for refund has expired.

You might be better off seeing a tax professional for the past returns particularly if you owe back taxes.

You can purchase 2014-2016 software here but might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.
