Hey it's asking me for my 2022 kentucky tax liability but i don't have form 740 or form 1040 do i? i think i only have my w2 right? help please

Your 2022 would have been filed this time last year. You would need those forms if you owe money this year to help reduce the penalty. The smart thing to do is locate your copy of your taxes and look at the forms . 

Form 740 for 2022 shows your KY liability on line 19.

For 1040, look at line 24.

If you filed with us, we have your records for now but you should download a copy for yourself since we purge records. See How do I view, download, or print a prior-year tax return?

Well I actually had some actual tax person do my taxes last year, but I only gave her a W-2 I think where do I even get a form 740 or a form 1040 like it's asking for?

To obtain copies of your tax return from the IRS, download file Form 4506 from the IRS website, complete it, sign it, and mail it to the appropriate IRS address.

Also, as of 2023, the IRS charges $43 for each return you request.

Keep in mind: If you filed a joint return for any of the years you are requesting copies, then you must provide your spouse’s name and Social Security number on Form 4506. It’s not necessary for your spouse to sign Form 4506 if you are requesting copies of a joint return.

Taxpayers can either request a tax return transcript or order a full copy of a previously-filed return from the IRS.

The fastest option is to request an online tax return transcript, which you can view, download, and print. Alternatively, you can request a transcript by mail.

Transcripts include most line items from your return, like your AGI, and look like this. They're available for tax years 2019 through 2022 and are free.

From Kentucky's Department of Taxation, you can request a copy of your tax return, Form 740 as follows:
