QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) does not support electronic filing for prior-year returns. To finish your 2024 taxes, you will need to print out your forms and mail them to the IRS manually.

QBSE only serves as the bookkeeping foundation for your return; final tax preparation and filing always happen outside the program.

Please respond to this post if you need additional assistance.

but what if one had begun preparing the prior taxes online. Does it only save completed returns. How do I get back to the returns I began already?

QuickBooks Self-Employed doesn’t offer a draft option when you prepare a tax return. However, you can use TurboTax to save your progress and continue your return where you left off.

For step-by-step instructions, see the How do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online? section of this article: How do I file a prior-year tax return?.

Once you finish your return, you can mail it using certified mail with a return receipt. You can also use an IRS-approved private delivery service.
