I received a 1099 for 2022 I have some prior years that I wasn't able to file due to tragedy and unexpected expense. Does 2022 if owed any amount in the prior years will that be affected in 2022 if again money is owed or is each year separated

Hello @5344298 ,

I'm sorry to hear you had a tragedy and unexpected expenses.  If you owe taxes in a prior year that have not been paid yet and you are getting a refund for a subsequent year, the IRS will apply the refund to the outstanding balance from prior year(s).

You may want to review the Taxpayer Advocate Service for assistance in making payment arrangements or resolving your prior debt with the IRS.
