I need to file a 2020 return for a new client through Proconnect. I was told since I didn't have any prior year credits, I'm SOL and can't buy a prior year tax return??

What are my options?  Am I supposed to buy several extra returns each year in case a client or two walks in wanting prior years filed?  Is there no work around on this? Help.

The credits you have now for this year are good on ANY YEAR. Select the year you want from the dropdown in the upper right. 

Credits were cheaper then, but the price goes up each year for ANY YEAR you use.
