Sorry for the frustrating day you have had. You cannot e-file a 2023 tax return. E-filing is permanently closed for 2023. Those returns have to be printed, signed and mailed. Skip past the screens that offer e-filing---you cannot e-file. Only some professional tax preparers with pro software have the ability to e-file a past year return.
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 UPS or 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.
