Can I file for a previous tax year if I forgot to file that year. For instance, if I am now filing for 2023 can I also file for 2022, even though I never filed for 2022?

How to file for previous tax year, even though did not file.

Sorry it's too,late to start a 2022 online return or use the mobile app, either on Turbo Tax or the IRS.  And too late to efile 2022.

If you need to start 2022 you can buy the Desktop download here,

TurboTax 2022 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

Here is the 2022 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

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.

Then when you file for 2023 you need to enter 0 for the 2022 AGI since you are filing 2022 late.

To file for 2022 you would have to buy the 2022 download/desktop version.

It's too late to file your 2022 tax return on TurboTax Online.  You will have to purchase TurboTax Desktop and download it to your computer.
