Review & File Your Return
Step-by-step instructions for reviewing your return and filing with the IRS.
Before you can review and file, make sure every section of your return is complete. Check the sidebar for any sections with a yellow warning icon—these indicate incomplete or missing information.
At minimum, you should have: • All W-2s and 1099s entered under Income • Deductions reviewed (even if you're taking the standard deduction) • Personal information verified (name, SSN, address, filing status) • Dependents added if applicable
FileJoy won't let you file with critical missing information, but it's best to be thorough before moving to the review stage. A complete return means a smoother review with fewer issues to fix.
