Question

I used turbo tax to file my '19 returns. I just updated the software and want to file 2020 returns. Software shows as if I'm filling 2019. How do I file under 2020 forms?

You will need to use the correct tax year of TurboTax for each tax return filed.  You cannot file your 2019 tax return online.  It would have needed to be done using the software from the prior year. 

 

Please see the link below to ensure you used the 2019 tax software to prepare your 2019 tax return.

 

Prior-year tax return information

 

You can use the online software to prepare your 2020 income tax return.  However, if you filed your 2019 tax return using the online version, you will need to amend your return to ensure it only reflects the activity for 2020.

 

How to amend my return?
