How do I file my tax return online?

For prior year tax returns, the extension deadline has passed since October 15. However, you can electronically file the current year tax return and two prior tax years. You are required to paper file tax returns that are older than two prior tax years. This means you must print, sign and mail your tax return to the IRS and state.

For the current tax year, as long as it has not passed the e-file extension deadline, you can e-file before the end of the filing season.

Here is how to file your tax return online with us:

1. Click on Create Account, select the tax year, and create a username and password (you can use the same username and password for all of your priortax.com tax accounts)
2. Enter your tax information specific to the year, such as your basic information, income, deductions, credits and state information
3. Select the option to paper file or e-file (if available) before checkout
4. Submit your tax return

After you submit your tax return, it will either be e-filed or you must print the PDF, sign it and mail it to the IRS and/or state.
