You can't just make a change and make it be 2023. You will need to use the 2023 program in order to file a 2023 return. Tax laws change every year, so you need to use the correct program for the correct year to file for that year.
Your next steps depend on whether or not your return was accepted or rejected.
If your return is accepted by the IRS, you will need to Amend Your Return for 2024 and include the correct information on the 2024 return and then file the 2023 return using the 2023 downloaded program as you cannot use the online program to file a previous year return once the new tax year opens.
If the return is accepted, do not make any changes until the IRS fully processes your return as they may catch the error and send you a letter of correction. If they do, and you agree with their changes do nothing. If you disagree, then follow the instruction on the letter.
If the return is rejected, then you will just make the changes to the return and file it as appropriate.
Regardless of how 2024 is handled, you can take care of 2023 now using the 2023 download.
