You can still file your 2022 tax return by using the TurboTax desktop download version. You can purchase the software here: TurboTax® 2022 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes. 

 

Please note that you will need a full Windows or Mac computer to install and run the program. Keep in mind that it is now too late to start a 2022 or prior-year return using the TurboTax Online service or the mobile app, as e-filing for 2022 is no longer available.

You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.
