I purchased the 2021 TurboTax desktop version. How do I complete my 2020 return on the SW? There doesn't seem to be an option to change the tax year.

To complete your 2020 return, you will need to download the 2020 version. Unfortunately, the 2021 version is for 2021 tax returns only. Since taxes change over time, our software is designed on a year-by-year basis to ensure the program runs as smoothly as possible without taking up too much space.

To download a prior-year tax return software, please see our TurboTax webpage:

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
