How do I file a prior year tax return?
On the FreeTaxUSA home page, click the Prior Year tab and choose the year you'd like to file.
Most prior year returns cannot be e-filed. For 2018 through 2022, the IRS and states do not allow e-file, so the only way to submit those returns is to print and mail them. If you need to file a prior year return for 2018 through 2022, please print out your return after you have completed it and follow the directions located on the View Return Status and Print Your Copy screen to mail your return.
For 2023 and 2024 returns, you have the option to e-file if you have an Identity Protection PIN.
If you prepared a tax return using our software in a previous year and simply want to print a copy of your old tax return, just sign in to your account and go to the Prior Returns link under the Account menu in the top-right corner of the screen. There you can view and print any of your previous returns.
