Are you adding 2022 income to your 2023 tax return?  You can’t do that.

Okay----stop and take a deep breath.     You cannot combine 2022 income and 2023 income on the same tax return.   Delete any 2022 income you entered.  The online program is only for a 2023 return.  You cannot put 2022 income into 2023 software.  Only a 2023 return can be e-filed.  You did not file a 2022 return so when it asks you for a 2022 AGI, use zero.  If zero will not let you e-file, you can print, sign and mail 2023 in/

As for 2022---you need the CD/download software on a full PC or Mac in order to prepare a 2022 return.  That return can only be filed by mail.  It cannot be e-filed.

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2023 only.   Only a 2023 return can be prepared online and only a 2023 return can be e-filed.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2020, 2021, and  2022 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

 If you need to prepare a return for 2020, 2021, or 2022  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.

We can't tell why you owe $7,010 because we can't see your tax return. But you did one thing that is definitely wrong. You cannot include your 2022 income in your 2023 tax return. That could be a big part of the problem. Delete all the 2022 information and then see how it comes out with only 2023.

You have to file a separate 2022 tax return to report your 2022 income. You cannot do that with TurboTax Online. TurboTax Online is only for the current tax year, which is now 2023.
