I've never received my 2024 tax refund and my 2020 says it was accepted but I dunno either

2024 tax return was accepted them I got a letter that I need to file years 2022 and 2021 and now they are saying I owe like $1000 on 2022. Can't they take that out of my 2024 refund and send me the rest

Did you file returns for tax year 2021 and 2022? If the IRS is requiring you to file those returns they will not release any refund for 2024 until that requirement is met. Once you file those returns, if you really do owe, they can take it out of your 2024 refund. What they calculated for 2022 may not be correct because you may have had deductions or credits they didn't apply to your income.

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.

 

Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 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.

 

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  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 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.
