If I owe from the previous year does that have an effect on this years taxes?

[heathergreene16]

i owe in 2022, will this affect what i owe in 2023?

no, but if you are due a refund in 2023, the IRS will net what you owe from 2022 against the refund in 2023.

You do not mention whether your 2023 return shows a refund or tax due.   If you owe back taxes, and you are seeing a refund on your 2023 Form 1040, the IRS will reduce your refund by the amount you owe from last year plus interest.   If you have a new tax due amount for your 2023 return--shown on line 37---then you now owe even more and will need to make plans for how you will take care of that.   Are you on a payment plan with the IRS?
