You cannot change the tax year. 

 

If you need to file a tax return for the 2022 tax year, then you need to use a 2022 TurboTax product.

 

At this time, you can only use a desktop TurboTax product that must be installed on a computer.

You cannot change the tax forms.   Did you use the online software and enter information for 2022 income?  Online is only for 2023 returns--no other year.  If you used online TurboTax for a 2022 return, it is all wrong---wrong software, wrong forms, and wrong tax laws used.  Do not try to file it.    

 

You might be able to clear it and start over to use the account for a 2023 return.

In order to file a 2022 return, you need the CD/download on a full PC or Mac and the  2022 return has to be filed by mail.

 

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2023 only.   Only a 2023 return can be prepared online and only a 2023 return can be e-filed.

 

Online preparation and e-filing for 2020, 2021, and  2022 is permanently closed.

 

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2020, 2021, or 2022  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.
