FINALLY OFFICIAL ... IRS 2023 TAX SEASON TO START 1/23 FOR PROCESSING

@LVV A 2021 tax return cannot be e-filed.  The only way to file a 2021 return is by mail.  Only a 2022 return can be e-filed.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
