    You can find your previous downloaded software in your Download Account.   What kind of error are you getting?  You may need to uninstall and reinstall it.  Make sure it is in your download account before uninstalling it though.

    How to file a prior year
    https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984

    You can only buy the download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. Buy the download here

    You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.

    Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.

    If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. You have 3 years to file for a refund. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

    If you want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms…..

    Here is the IRS 2019 Form 1040
    https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2019.pdf

    or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,
    https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2019.pdf

    And 2019 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2019.pdf

    2019 Tax and EIC Tables
    https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2019.pdf

    Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2019.pdf
    Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2019.pdf
    Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2019.pdf
    Then when you do file 2020 enter 0 for the 2019 AGI since you are filing 2019 late.

     

    I have the links for other years too.
