Last year still not finalized

[angeland]

I filed my taxes last year before they excluded part of Unemployment.  I ended up owing and paying money.  After the change they said do not file an amended return they will adjust it. (I would get money back)   I'm still waiting (along with thousands of others)  How will that affect my 2021 tax return?  Can I file before it is finalized?

Yes, you can file your 2021 tax return as soon as you have all your documentation for the year.  You do not have to wait for the prior year to be finalized in order to file your current year's taxes.
