If I started my 2021 taxes in 2022 and all I had to do was file but didn't, will my progress have been saved all this time? Or do I have to start all over again?

Yes, you will have to start your tax return over again because TurboTax Online is not available for 2022. Follow this link to purchase the TurboTax software to File your 2022 taxes.  You will need to download the software to a Windows or MAC computer.

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.
