After you file

@e9e2ef69ffdc Each tax year is separate.  Your 2021 refund will not be included with your 2022 refund.  There is no place on a 2022 tax return to indicate that you are still waiting for a refund from a past year.  Only the IRS can tell you what is happening with that refund after the dispute with your "ex."  It has nothing to do with your 2022 tax return.
