Hi I haven’t filed taxes in two years how do I get started? Do I file both years at the same time or seperately?

NO.   You have to do each year separately.  You can use the Online version for 2023  now.

Sorry it's too,late to start a 2022 online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS. And too late to efile 2022.

If you need to start 2022 you can buy the Desktop download here
https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products
You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms.....

Here is the 2022 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

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.

Then when you file for 2023 you need to enter 0 for the 2022 AGI since you are filing 2022 late.

Must be entirely separate. 

Online software (thru a browser), is only for 2023 taxes.  You can still work on those, adn e-file them thru mid-Oct, even though they are a bit late now.

_____________

You cannot use the "Online" software for your 2022 taxes and 2022 taxes will have to be printed out and mailed in.  There is no penalty for filing late if you are getting a refund anyhow.

As long as you have a full Windows or MAC computer, you can buy, download and install the 2022 desktop software to prepare those 2022 taxes here:
