I started a 2022 tax return and didn't finish it. How do I access it and file it when I complete it?

You can no longer finish your 2022 tax return in TurboTax Online. TurboTax Online is only for the current tax year, which is now 2023. To finish your 2022 tax return you have to use the CD or download TurboTax software for 2022 (which is not free).


If you started your 2022 tax return in TurboTax Online, go to the following link for instructions to complete it.


How do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online?


Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print your 2022 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail.

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.
