I was having major issues with my taxes last year and I missed the deadline and I was trying to do the year before together and it said that I had to pay like $150 for a desk to do the prior years taxes which I’m assuming women have to do this time is there a site that I can do Last year’s and the year before because I’m owed money without having to pay a certain amount of money that I can still do my deductions and tax credits and what not like I can on here because I’m self-employed please help because I’m getting so stressed out because I don’t want them to take any money out of this because I didn’t do them the last two years.

    To complete and file a prior year (2021 thru 2023) tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year required from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

     

    A prior year tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  Use a separate envelope for each tax year being mailed.

    There is no penalty for missing the filing deadline if you are getting a refund or do not owe tax due.  If you owe tax due, however, there will be penalties and interest owed on the past due amount.   You say you have been self-employed----so that means you may owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, as well as ordinary income tax.  You will need to prepare the returns to see how it comes out.

     

    Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year.  They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.

     

    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.
