@kmsthorn  as long as you are due a refund, the IRS isn't really going to care that you have not submitted the tax return.  As long as you have that extension, you can claim the refund as long as the tax return is filed by Oct 15, 2026 (3 years).  if you owe, you owe and there is no deadline by which the money you owes magically disappears or the interest clock stops.  

do you owe or do you anticipate a refund? 

what is the challenge to getting this complete? there is still another 45 days until Oct 15.

AND...note that if you don't get them done by mid-October of 2023, then you'll have to use the 2022 Desktop software on a full MAC or Windows computer to finish them, and will then have to print them out and mail them in yourself.

Is "texas" a typo?  Did you mean "taxes?"   There is no state income tax in the state of Texas, so just asking what any of this has to do with Texas.

As explained to you in posts above.....e-filing will close down after mid-October, so if you do not e-file by the October deadline, you will only be able to file by printing, signing and mailing your return.  Mailed returns take much longer for the IRS to process, so if you are hoping for  a refund, it will take longer.   And....the online software closes too, so after the October deadline, you will have to switch to the CD/download software which cannot be used on a Chromebook, an iPad, a phone, or any sort of mobile device.  That software can only be used on a full PC or Mac.
