It's still too early.   There will be many updates to come.  The IRS hasn't even finalized all the forms yet.   And you can't file until late January.   Keep checking back.   Just keep waiting.

Watch for IRS to "open for e-Filing".

Before that happens, you should not file a tax return, even if on paper for stimulus only.

Tax year 2021 is not even over yet, and will not be over until midnight on December 31.   You still need your 2021 W-2's and any 1099's that will show your income for 2021.    Those will not be issued until late or the end of January. 

 

The tax forms are not ready yet.  Your return must be ready to file which will not happen until 1/6 at the earliest.  Go to the REVIEW tab to see which forms in your return are incomplete and the estimated dates they will be ready (dates always subject to change) and sign up for the email alerts if you wish.  

 .   

 Being in such a hurry to file and get a refund is never a good idea---it leads to filing incorrectly without all of your information and to waiting months to amend mistakes that you should not have made in the first place.   Be patient and file correctly when all of your information is in order and the tax forms are ready.
