And 2023 Instructions

Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf
Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf
Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf
Then when you do file 2024 enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.
You have to print and mail prior year returns. When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.
