Filing my 2021 taxes without my 2020 taxes being done

Yakuze Honoru · ‎February 18, 2022

I haven't filed my 2020 taxes but plan to finish them tomorrow afternoon or next week at Jackson Hewitt. Well I just have to pay them the $400-$500 to submit it. This is my first time doing them myself and I'm not sure what will happen.

So my question is should I just wait to finish my 2021 taxes with Turbo tax until Jackson Hewitt files my 2020 or File my 2021 without my 2020 even though it'll get done possibly tomorrow?

Your 2020 AGI will not be in the system even after they file the return---that takes quite awhile. In order to e-file 2021 use "zero" as your 2020 AGI when it asks for it. Or...choose that you did not file last year.
