I recently filed my late 2022 Self employment tax return for a refund. I still need to file my daughter's 2022 income tax return for her refund, can I just use my account that I already paid for the upgrade? If yes how do I start a fresh 2022 file for her

    Hello westcoastflipn,

    In order for your daughter to file her a return, she will need her own account. If she was your dependent for 2022, you will need to mark that someone claims her as a dependent on the Taxpayer information page.

    Please note the IRS 3 year limitation:

    "The latest date, by law, you can claim a credit or federal income tax refund for a specific tax year is generally the later of these 2 dates:

    3 years from the date you filed your federal income tax return, or
    2 years from the date you paid the tax.
    This time period is called the Refund Statute Expiration Date (RSED).

    If you filed your return before its due date, the IRS considers it filed on the due date. If you had income tax withheld or paid estimated tax during the year, we consider those payments to have been made on the return due date."

    There a few exceptions to this rule. I will include the link for more information about this:
