No. That is not okay. A tax return has to be prepared using the forms for the specific tax year in which the income was received. If you used a 2023 form for 2021 or 2022 income, then you just sent in 2023 returns that are all wrong. The software and the forms are specific to the tax laws in effect for the specific tax year. Tax laws for 2021, 2022 and 2023 are not the same.
How did you use 2023 forms for 2021 and 2022? What did you do? Did you put income from two past years on the same form using the online software? Did you e-file or did you print it and mail it? Please explain so we can help.
