i need my 2022 W-2 bc i never got my stimulus check.

You can request a duplicate W-2 from your employer or you can request a Wage & Income transcript from the IRS which will have all of the income reported to your SSN listed.  For more information, refer to the TurboTax article What is an IRS Tax Transcript and How Do I Request One?

Refer to the IRS article for instructions; Get a tax transcript online.

Once you receive your income information, you will have to purchase TurboTax Desktop and install it on your computer to prepare your  2022 tax return. For more information, review the TurboTax Help article How do I file a 2022, 2021, or 2020 tax return?

The IRS issued three stimulus payments (two in 2020 and one in 2021). They didn't issue any in 2022.

If you need to file a 2022 tax return you should certainly do so.  But there is no place on a  2022 tax return to enter anything about a stimulus check.   The stimulus checks were for 2020 and 2021; if you did not receive the checks automatically back when they were issued, you could use the recovery rebate credit on a 2020 or 2021 return to get them.   It is now too late to get the ones for 2020.   The 3rd payment for 2021 is available if you are eligible --- if you file (or amend) a 2021 tax return to get the recovery rebate credit by April 15, 2025.  If someone else could claim you as a dependent for 2021, you are not eligible.

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed.

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.

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 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.
