    I wouldn't advise it.  There have been a number of changes since 2020, including deduction limits.  You would likely result in having inaccurate information on your return.

    NO!!!!!!!   Each tax year has its own software that is written for the tax laws in effect for the specific tax year, and which includes the forms for that tax year.  You cannot update 2020 software to prepare a 2022 tax return.  You need 2022 software.

     

    CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

    You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

     

    This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

     

    When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $20 and increases to $25 in March.

    No.  You have to buy a new program for each year.  The 2020 program  is only for 2020 returns.  

    Why you have to buy a new program each year
