Prior Year Tax Returns - Need Help Understanding Process for Filing 2020-2022 Returns

Tax professional here - Prior year returns need to be filed by mail, not electronically. Download the correct year's forms from IRS.gov, fill them out carefully, and include all W2s/1099s. Processing time is typically 16-20 weeks for paper returns, but can be longer. For penalties, you might qualify for First Time Penalty Abatement if you had a clean compliance history.

Hey there! I recently discovered taxr.ai and it was a game changer for understanding my prior year returns. It costs $1 but totally worth it - gives you a complete breakdown of what's happening with your transcript and estimates for refund timing. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

went thru this last year. took forever but finally got all my refunds. definitely get all your documentation together first its a pain in the butt to track down old W2s

Anyone know if you can still get stimulus payments from 2020/2021 if you file now? 💰

DONT FORGET TO KEEP COPIES OF EVERYTHING YOU SEND!!!! learned that the hard way when IRS lost my 2019 return 🤡

In the same boat rn. Started with a tax preparer but they wanted $400 PER YEAR to file 😭 decided to try it myself
