I didn’t file my taxes last year. How do I add my 2022 W-2s to my 2023 W-2s from the same employer?

You can't.  You have to do each year separately.  Online is only good for 2023.  

If you need to start 2022 you can buy the Desktop download here,

TurboTax 2022 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand.  Here are some basic forms.....

Here is the 2022 1040 return

or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors,

2022 1040 Instructions

2022 EIC and Tax Tables

Schedules 1-3

Don’t forget your state.  And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Then when you file for 2023 you need to enter 0 for the 2022 AGI since you are filing 2022 late.

You cannot enter a 2022 W-2 on a 2023 tax return.  The 2022 W-2 has to be entered on the 2022 tax return.

To complete and file a 2022 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2022 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A 2022 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

You Don't include your 2022 tax forms in your 2023 tax return.

2022 W-2 and other 2022 tax forms must only be entered on a 2022 tax return...even if late.

You can buy desktop software (full Windows or MAC computers only) to prepare any and all 2022 data, and then print and mail them in to the IRS and your state.......no e-filing of 2022 or other prior years at this late date.
