Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Just so you have realistic expectations----any refund shown on a 2020 tax return has been forfeited. The IRS will not pay it. It is not too late to get a tax refund for tax year 2021. If you did not get the stimulus money for 2021 you can use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review to get the stimulus money if you were eligible in 2021 but did not receive it. If someone else could claim you as a dependent for 2021 you are not eligible for the credit.
When you mail your past year returns, use separate envelopes; do not try to combine them in the same envelope.
