Should I file 2023 and 2022 taxes together or separately? Haven't filed last year

I missed filing my 2022 taxes and want to file my 2023 taxes now. Not sure if I should do both at once or handle them separately. What's the best way to handle this situation?

You should file them separately. The IRS processes each tax year independently, and filing them together could cause delays or confusion. File 2022 first since it's already late, then do 2023. This helps avoid any mix-ups in processing and ensures each return is handled correctly.

Yes, there are penalties for late filing - typically 5% of unpaid taxes for each month up to 25%. If you're due a refund tho, no penalties!

Pro tip: if you owe money for 2022, you might qualify for a payment plan. Don't let that stop you from filing ASAP!
