Can I file this year's return if amended return for last year has not yet been processed?

[cjs42]

I mailed an amended return in January but it is just showing as received last week and website says 16-20 weeks to process.  This was to correct an error in HSA contributions reported last year that was causing me to owe $2,000 this year. 

Can I go ahead and file this year's return and just adjust the field that is in error on this year's return that will eventually be corrected on last year's amended return?

Yes, you can file your 2022 tax return with the necessary adjustments.
