How do prior year returns work?
Refund Availability
The IRS is issuing refunds for 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Generally, the IRS is no longer processing refunds for 2018 - 2021. In most cases, you must have filed your return within 3 years of the return due date to claim a refund.
Prepare and Mail
Prior year tax returns/amendments usually must be mailed.
You may be able to e-file your 2024 prior year tax return/amendment if you have an Identity Protection PIN.
Prior Year Pricing
All federal tax returns are free. Add a state return for only $17.99. Prepare a prior year amendment for $17.97.
