If you need to file a prior year tax return, it's important to know that our program does not support electronic filing (e-filing) for prior-year federal or state returns. Instead, you'll need to print, sign, and mail your completed return to the appropriate tax agency.
How to Print a Prior Year Return
You can access and print a prior year return directly from your account:
- Sign in to the account you used to prepare the return.
- From the Tax Home page, scroll to the Tax Returns section.
- Select the three-dot menu next to the tax year you need and choose View.
- Select Access Return.
- On the left navigation menu, select Summary/Print.
- Choose View/Print Return.
- Your return will open as a PDF, where you can view, save, or print your federal and state tax forms.
Before Mailing Your Return
Be sure to:
- Sign and date the return where required.
- Attach copies of your Form W-2 and any other supporting documents listed in your filing instructions.
- Include any required payment if you owe taxes.
- Keep a copy of the complete return for your records.
Where to Mail Your Return
- For your federal return, send Form 1040-X and all supporting documents to the IRS processing center assigned to your state of residence. The correct mailing address can be found on the IRS website.
- For a state return, refer to the state filing instructions provided with the printed forms for the correct mailing address.
