Level 15

If you have not worked since 2020, what income are you trying to enter on a 2025 tax return? Do you have taxable income to enter---like some retirement income, investment income, rental income, etc. etc. etc.? The online Free Edition can only be used for very simple 2025 returns that only require Form 1040 without any extra forms or schedules.

And....how are you being "stopped?" Stopped from what --exactly?
