If you want a tax expert to review your return then you will need to pay for the "Live" online software. Right now you are posting from the Free Edition, which does not even allow customer support.

And.....it is still December 2022. You cannot file your tax return yet. Employers have until the end of January to issue your W-2's; many 1099's will not arrive until late January or even mid-February. It is too soon. You cannot prepare an accurate tax return until you have all of your information. E-filing will not open until late January. If you are getting earned income credit or the additional child tax credit your refund will not be issued by the IRS until late February.

If you have some specific tax questions to ask then you can post them here in the user forum for help.

This is tricky.

You have to become tax-savvy to know what your deductions and credits are.

OR
Have a very competent CPA or Enrolled Agent work with you and do your return for you. That's expensive.
