You only have three years from the initial return due date to file and claim a refund you are owed.

The MyFreeTaxes self-preparation software (accessible by selecting the “By myself” option on our homepage) only includes current year returns.

There are several factors that affect whether or not you will need to file a tax return, including your age, gross income, and filing status. you likely have to file a 2021 return if you are under 65, earned at least $12,550 in 2021, and file single. See the chart below for more details or get more information from the IRS here.

There are benefits to filing your taxes even if your income falls below these thresholds. You may be eligible for tax credits that entitle you to a refund. Tax filing is also an important way to verify your income if you are applying for Federal Student Aid, social security, or a loan from a bank or credit union.

Federal tax returns are due around April 15 each year. However, if you get a refund from the IRS and do not owe taxes, you will not face a penalty for failing to file by the return deadline. You have until October 15 to electronically file a current-year return. For example, 2021 tax year returns can be electronically filed until October 15, 2022. 

Do you need to file a prior-year return to claim any missed refund or tax credits? You can do so within three years of the original filing deadline. For example, a 2018 return, which was initially due in April 2019, may be filed by April 2022 to receive any owed refund.

Please note, the MyFreeTaxes self-preparation filing method only supports current year returns. Please choose our With Assistance option if you need assistance filing a past-due, prior-year return.

The IRS recommends a few options for obtaining your prior-year AGI.

Preferred Method
You should always retain a copy of your tax return.

On your prior-year tax return, your AGI is on line 8b of the Form 1040.

• If you are using the same tax preparation software that you used last year, that software will likely have your prior-year tax return for you to access.
• If you’re not using the same tax preparation software as last year, you may be able to access your prior-year software and view an electronic copy of your prior-year return.
• If you are a first-time filer over the age of 16 enter zero as your AGI.
• If you have an Identity Protection (IP) PIN, you should enter it when prompted by your software. It will serve to verify your identity, instead of your prior-year AGI or prior-year Self Select PIN. You can opt into the IP PIN program through the IRS’ online tool.

Alternative Methods

• If you do not have a copy of your tax return, you may use a Get Transcript self-help tool to get a Tax Return Transcript showing your AGI.
• Use the IRS’ Get Transcript Online tool to immediately view your AGI. You must pass the Secure Access identity verification process. Select the Tax Return Transcript and use only the “Adjusted Gross Income” line entry.
• Use Get Transcript by Mail or call 800-908-9946 if you cannot pass Secure Access and need to request a Tax Return Transcript. Please allow 5 to 10 days for delivery. Use only the “Adjusted Gross Income” line entry.

Special Instructions to Validate Your Electronic Tax Return

If you used the Non-Filers tool in 2021 to register for an advance Child Tax Credit payment or third Economic Impact Payment in 2021, enter $1 as your prior year AGI. 

The IRS recommends a few options for obtaining your prior-year Earned Income Level.

Preferred Method
Retrieve a copy of your prior-year tax return.

• Look for Form 8812. Earned income is shown on line 6a.
• If there is no Form 8812, look for the EITC worksheets, which are usually included at the end of your return. Earned income is listed on Worksheet A, Line 1 and Worksheet B, Line 4b.

Alternative Methods
If you do not have a copy of your prior-year return, you can obtain a transcript from the IRS.

• If you do not have a copy of your tax return, you may use a Get Transcript self-help tool to get a Tax Return Transcript showing your earned income from a prior year.

Yes, you can, though it may be more financially advantageous to file jointly. Almost all married couples that file taxes separately are required to file a return since the income threshold is $5. Filing jointly may also help you qualify for many tax credits and deductions, including the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit).

If you elect to file separately, keep in mind that If one spouse itemizes their deductions, the other spouse must do so as well. If neither spouse itemizes, both can take the standard deduction.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable credit based upon your earned (W-2) income. It usually increases as you add qualified dependents. Additional qualifications include:

• Taxpayers and qualifying dependents must have Social Security Numbers that allow them to work in the U.S.
• Cannot file as Married Filing Separately
• Must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year
• Cannot have foreign income
• Have investment income of $3,650 or less
• Cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else
• Dependent(s) must be related to you, meet certain age requirements, must reside with you for more than half the year, and cannot be claimed by more than one person

For additional information on the EITC: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/use-the-eitc-assistant

Yes! You can file an extension through MyFreeTaxes and finish filing by October 15, 2022. If you owe taxes and do not pay by the April filing deadline, the IRS will charge you interest each month on the amount you owe until you file and pay. You can learn more here about filing an extension here.

The email notifying you of the rejection should provide the reason. Make corrections by logging back into your tax software account and refile. If that doesn't work, you may have to file a paper return or contact the IRS. Most common reasons for rejection are:
1. Employer EIN does not match IRS information
2. Social Security number does not match IRS name
3. Someone already filed using a dependent's Social Security number
4. IRS identity theft PIN is wrong or was omitted

The MyFreeTaxes self-preparation software (accessible by selecting the “By myself” option on our homepage) allows filing and amending current year returns.

• To start amending your return, select E-file in the main navigation menu. Then, select the Amended Return menu item that appears below it in the navigation menu. 
• Once you have completed your amended return, select Continue at the bottom of the Amended Return menu to choose how you wish to file it. If you choose to e-file, complete the process to file your Amended Return the same way as your Federal Return.

The MyFreeTaxes File with Assistance option (accessible by selecting the “With assistance” option on our homepage) connects users who need more support filing their return to partner nonprofits who are part of the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. These programs can file and amend returns for each of the last three years if you meet their eligibility criteria.

Federal Refund Status: If you need to check the status of your refund, you can use the IRS online application by clicking on the following link: "Where's My Refund?". You can also check the status of your federal refund by phone by calling the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954. For video assistance with tracking your Federal refund, please click here.
State Refund Status: Most states provide online status inquiry. Some states have automated phone verification for refund status, those telephone numbers are provided on the website.

There are a number of reasons that the tax refund could be delayed. First, check to make sure that you received an email confirmation that your return was accepted by both the federal and state government. Second, check to make sure that all of your tax documents were included with your return. Missing documents are a common reason for refund delays.

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), your refund may be delayed. The 2015 PATH Act requires all refunds claiming the EITC and/or the ACTC (Additional Child Tax Credit) to be held until mid-February regardless of how you filed.

If your tax return included an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) application/ renewal, or if you recently received a new SSN for yourself or anyone else on your return, this could also delay your refund. If the IRS needs additional verification or if your return gets audited, they may request additional authentication before releasing your tax refund.
