@talonbell307 You say we misunderstood. But in mid-December, before tax year 2023 has ended, you say you have "all my information to file my 2023 returns" and the software "will not let me proceed"
That sounds like you are attempting to file your 2023 tax return and then you asked if you could file on January 1. What are we mis-understanding? We cannot see your tax return or your information, so we cannot know what income or information you have already entered or may need to enter. But we do know that the tax year is not over, and that employers, clients, and financial institutions have until the end of January to issue important tax documents, and we know that the forms and schedules for many things are not yet ready. All of your 2023 information has to go on the same Form 1040; rushing to file before you have everything can just lead to creating more work for yourself later if you end up having to amend your tax return.
