Six months won't do it, it has to be all year, from what I'm reading. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501#en_US_2022_publink1000220954

My federal return has to be paper filed. (This is lady with IRS PIN issue.) But she has a NYS return that I thought I could still efile without the IRS efile. I think I used to be able to. I'm just ready to scream today! grumble mumble........grumble mumble............

Well I stand corrected. She will likely book before yearend anyway.

They can be amended

Thanks Judy, that is exactly what I have done.

"When to File Generally, to claim a refund, you must file Form 1040-X within 3 years after the date you filed your original return or within 2 years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Returns filed before the due date (without regard to extensions) are considered filed on the due date, and withholding is deemed to be tax paid on the due date. Special rules apply for refund claims relating to net operating losses, foreign tax credits, bad debts, and other issues. For more information, refer to the Instructions for Form 1040-X."

So sorry for your loss. I had a "greeter" cat for many years and most clients looked forward to seeing him every year. Only problem is he liked to sit on my lap when I was preparing returns and if I wasn't paying the appropriate amount of attention to him, depending on his mood, he would start tapping on the keyboard, making for some interesting results.
