Well...that tax return is all wrong.   But since the IRS accepted it, you have to wait until it has been fully processed, and then you will have to amend it.   You will need to use a Form 1040X---which becomes available in late February----and change all of the wrong 2021 information to the 2022 information that should have been on a 2022 tax return.

 

Meanwhile, the correct way to file your 2021 return is as follows:

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

 

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

 

Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.

Correct  ... you must WAIT to see what the IRS does with that incorrect return ... it is possible that they will reject it later and send you a notice to explain or amend ... wait to see what the IRS does with the return before messing with the 2022 tax file.
