Is it too late to file for 2022 taxes this year? Deadline concerns

13 Thanks for this info! Do you know if I need any special forms since I'm filing late? And if I'm due a refund but file late, does the IRS reduce the amount because of the delay?

8 You don't need any special forms for late filing - you'll use the same forms as you would have used for the original tax year. For 2022, you'll need to use the 2022 tax forms (not the current year forms). You can find prior year forms on the IRS website. If you're due a refund, the IRS doesn't reduce your refund amount because you filed late. However, they don't pay interest on your refund unless they take more than 45 days to issue it after you file a proper return. The good news is that there are no penalties for filing late if you're due a refund.

9 How exactly does the AI service work? Do you just upload your documents and it figures everything out? I'm worried about security with my tax info.

5 I've tried using TurboTax for past years but they charge extra for each previous year. Does this taxr.ai thing cost a lot compared to the regular tax software options?

17 The AI basically scans your tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and helps identify which deductions and credits you qualify for based on your specific situation. It's especially helpful for figuring out which forms from previous years you need to use since that's what confused me the most. The system uses bank-level encryption for all documents, so security is solid. As for cost comparison, I found it more economical than paying for multiple years of the premium versions of other tax software, especially since I had a somewhat complicated situation with unfiled returns. What I liked most was getting personalized guidance specifically for my late filing situation rather than just a generic software interface.

14 Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true. How can they get you through when the IRS phone lines are constantly jammed?

9 Yeah right, nothing gets you through to the IRS faster. This has to be some kind of scam. Did you actually talk to a real IRS agent or just someone pretending to be one?

11 It's definitely legitimate. They use an automated system that basically waits on hold for you and calls you back when they reach a human agent. I was skeptical at first too, but it worked exactly as advertised. Absolutely got through to a real IRS agent - I verified by checking the official IRS number they connected me with, and the agent had full access to my tax records. The service just handles the waiting part so you don't have to sit on hold for hours. Was totally worth it since I needed to set up a payment plan for my late 2022 taxes.

12 Do you know if the tax brackets for 2022 are different than they are now? I made around $58,000 that year but I'm not sure which bracket that falls into for back then.

4 Yes, the tax brackets change each year due to inflation adjustments. For 2022, the brackets were different than they are for 2025. For example, if you were filing as single with $58,000 in taxable income for 2022, you would have been in the 22% bracket, which for 2022 covered income from $41,776 to $89,075. Remember that tax brackets are marginal, meaning only the portion of your income that falls within each bracket gets taxed at that rate. This is why it's important to use the correct year's tax forms and software, as they will have the correct brackets and calculations built in.

8 You file state taxes based on where you lived during the tax year you're filing for. So for your 2022 return, you would file state taxes for the state you lived in during 2022, regardless of where you live now.
