For various reasons, you may not have filed your federal income tax return for this year or previous years.

• You may not have known whether you were required to file,
• You may not have filed because you owe additional tax that you cannot afford to pay in full, and/or
• You may not have filed because you expect a refund and just have not taken the time to complete the return.

If you are required to file, you need to file your tax return as soon as possible. Go to the IRS Topic No. 153 What to Do if You Haven't Filed Your Tax Return webpage for more information. Prior year tax returns may be prepared using the TaxAct software. However, the IRS will not accept e-filing for previous year returns, so the return must be printed and mailed to the IRS.

You can use the TaxAct Online program to create a prior year return or a current year return, but the program isn't available for tax years before the last previous tax year. You can download the TaxAct Desktop program to prepare returns for tax years 2016 to Present.
