It is too late to efile 2022. You will have to print and mail your return now. Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Do you still need to file 2021?

Sorry it's too,late to start a 2021 online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS. And too late to efile 2021. If you need to start 2021 you can buy the Desktop download here,

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

You can file your 2022 tax return even though you have not filed 2021. It doesn't matter what order you file them in.

Do not mail your 2021 and 2022 tax returns together. Mail each year in a separate envelope.
