I need to clear and start over my tax return because it’s having me continue my 2022 tax return. I need to file my taxes for this year (2024)

Not sure what you are doing.  The current online program can only be used for a 2023 return.    2023 is the tax year that just ended on December 31, 2023.  That is what everyone is preparing now.  No one will prepare a 2024 tax return until next year in 2025.   

 

You cannot use online for a 2022 return.   Do not enter any 2022 information into the online program or the return will be all wrong.  You can only enter 2023 information online.

 

If you started a 2022 return last year---

 

 You will be able to access the 2022 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.

 

 

 

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

 

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2022 returns is now permanently closed.

  

Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2022 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

 

They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Mon-Fri

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

 

 

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/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
