What tax year are you trying to file? E-filing is permanently closed for 2021 or earlier years, and e-filing is not yet open for 2022 returns. Tax year 2022 is not even over yet. Documents you need to file a correct 2022 return such as W-2's and 1099's will be issued by the end of January or early February. The IRS will not start to accept 2022 e-files until late January. What is the hurry? The IRS itself has not finalized some of the forms you will need in order to prepare and file a 2022 return, nor has the IRS examined and approved certain forms in the tax software.
Be patient and wait. Even if you e-file in early January, your tax return will sit on a server until the IRS begins to accept returns. And then when you realize you made a mistake you will not be able to fix it.
