How to File Previous Year Taxes in TurboTax
Use this interactive demo to learn how to file your previous year taxes in TurboTax.
📌 Why this matters
Filing previous year taxes lets you catch up on missed returns and claim refunds you're owed, even from several years back. The IRS typically allows three years to claim refunds, so you could be leaving money on the table. Beyond recovering your own funds, filing back taxes stops penalty interest from accumulating and gets you back in good standing for future tax benefits like earned income credits or stimulus payments that require current filing status.
