How To File Prior Year Taxes Online

Filing prior year taxes may seem like a challenge but we have the perfect late tax solution right here online!

Getting ready to catch up on some taxes you forgot to file? You may think that you have to hunt down late tax forms or tax tables. Well, you don’t.

In fact, PriorTax offers online tax preparation services for tax returns going back to tax year 2005. No forms needed, ever. You can even use our prior year tax calculator to see if you have a refund coming your way from 2016 or 2017.

Before you start you need to keep this prior tax filing fact in mind: you won’t be able to e-file prior year taxes online. The IRS only offers e-file services to current year tax returns. When the tax season ends, e-file ends. Period.

So, what does that mean for you? Not having the option to e-file means that after you prepare your tax return and we review it, you’ll need to download, print and sign it before mailing it to the IRS by snail mail.

Here’s how it works in eight easy steps:

      Hello Robert,

      You can still file a 2002 tax return. However, it is too late to e-file it and/or to claim a refund. You will need to prepare your information with the documents located on the IRS website and mail it to the address listed according to the instructions on your form.
