You do not need to have the 2021 tax return processed and receive the tax refund to file a 2022 tax return. If you did not have any carryover amounts from the 2021 tax return then there is nothing on the 2022 return that you need from the 2021 return.
You can complete and file a 2022 tax return using your 2022 tax data just as you normally would.
If the 2021 tax return is still not processed by the time you are ready to e-file the 2022 tax return all you need to do is enter a 0 (zero) for the 2021 AGI so that you can e-file the 2022 return.
