Can I redo my taxes

If you e-filed the 2022 federal tax return, it cannot be retrieved or changed.

The IRS will not start accepting tax returns until January 23.

If the IRS rejects your tax return you can make any changes needed and e-file again.

If the IRS accepts your tax return then you need to wait for the IRS to process the tax return and you receive the tax refund or the taxes owed have been paid and processed.  Then you will need to amend the 2022 tax return to make any changes.

Can I change my return if I already submitted it and you’re holding it until the IRS opens?

No. Once you submit your return, it’s considered to be in pending status. We’ll hold all returns submitted before the IRS opens and submit them when the IRS is open.  Processing of returns is expected to start on or about 1/23 however some returns may be pulled earlier in test batches so watch your email for alerts. 

Once the IRS either accepts or rejects your return:

• If your return is accepted: If you want to change your return, you’ll need to amend it AFTER the original return has fully processed an you have the original refund in hand or have paid the original balance due.
• If your return is rejected: We'll send you an email to notify you, along with instructions on what to do. You can then open your return and make any changes you would like. Just be sure to fix the reason the return was rejected as well.
