I thought I was filing 2021 but it lists it as 2022, how do I change to the proper year?

You are too late to use online TurboTax. Online for 2021 is permanently closed. You can purchase the CD/download and use it on a full PC or Mac, and then mail your tax return. It cannot be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

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/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

And....if you already used the online program and entered your 2021 information, the return is all wrong. Do not try to file it. You need to clear out any 2021 income information you entered and save the account for your 2022 information. Since you did not file a timely 2021 return you will have trouble when you want to e-file 2022. Use zero for your AGI when it asks. If zero does not work then you will need to print, sign and mail 2022.
