2021 is now a prior year.

If you missed the Oct 15 deadline

What if I missed the October 15 deadline?

Did you start it last year?  How to finish a return you started online,

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 2022 you need to enter 0 for the 2021 AGI since you are filing 2021 late.

A 2021 tax return using TurboTax can no longer be e-filed.  It can only be printed and mailed.

i thought i started with turbo tax but i am mistaken, i used turbo tax the previous year.

i

did them with another company since i couldnt remember who i used after my computer went down, but have not mailed them yet. can i finish with or move them to with turbo tax so everything is in one place? suggestions would be helpful.

also if i am the caregiver of my fiancee and he is (was) totally disabled (he is now deceased) do i file him any different than just as a dependant at the time?
