    Sorry---preparing past year returns is not a service offered by TurboTax.  If you want a tax professional to help, you can google search for one in your own local area.  

     

    TurboTax no longer has software for any tax year earlier than 2021; any tax refunds for years earlier than 2021 have been forfeited.  If you owe tax due, you owe with late filing penalties and interest.   A tax pro may be able to help you negotiate with the IRS if you owe a lot.

     

     Do you even have all of the documents you will need to enter and show your income—like your W-2’s and any 1099’s?

     

     

     

    For 2021 through 2024:

     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.
