I was able to file my 2022 taxes with efile online and even called the IRS to make sure I was able to and they said it was all good to go. So efiling past taxes is STILL OPEN. It’s not permanently closed as you stated since 2023. Im not sure if you were confused with my question or got the years switched up but it may have been closed in ‘23 for past e-files but it’s for sure open now!
“The IRS allows 2022 federal tax returns to be e-filed until early November 2025. To e-file a prior year tax return, the IRS requires an Identity Protection PIN. The IRS shuts down e-filing for maintenance each year from late November to early January.
Prior year returns for years before 2022 must be mailed.”
“Yes, you can typically e-file the currently due tax year and two prior years, except during an IRs closure. For example, once the IRS has opened e-filing for tax year 2024 returns, you'll be able to e-file 2024, 2023 and 2022.”
