Expat living abroad needs assistance filing 2021

Hey friends.

Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong posting here.

Long story short; I live outside of the USA, moved 2021. I paid my taxes before I moved and did not have a proper income until well into 2022. Due to a mistake on my part, I didn't realize that I needed to file in years that I didn't have taxable income.

I have all of the appropriate numbers for the 2021 year and I want to file things to get caught up. I tried to work with a tax preparer and they said they couldn't file for year 2021. The did however help me complete 2022 to current.

What forms do I have to file myself for 2021 to get them properly filed but obviously late? I don't have assets and my income was zero for the 2021 year. Is it just putting zeroes in the applicable fields in a 2021 dated 1040 and sending it in or is there something more I am missing?

Let me know if anything was unclear, I am happy to clarify. I need to know which forms to file for 2021, where to send it, and if I need to pay anything.

Thank you in advance. I am a rank novice in matters of tax and assistance is welcome.

Expat living abroad needs assistance filing 2021 and 2022 taxes

Hey friends.

First post on Reddit so I hope I am not doing anything wrong.

Long story short; I live outside of the USA, moved 2021. I paid my taxes before I moved and did not have a proper income until well into 2022. Due to a mistake on my part, I didn't realize that I needed to file.

I have all of the appropriate numbers for the 2021 and 2022 tax years and I want to file things to get caught up. I tried to work with a tax preparer and they said they couldn't file for year 2021 and I will also need to file 2022 myself (in some capacity, even though they prepared the 2022 tax forms for me). My tax preparer is doing 2023 and onward.

What forms do I have to file myself for 2021 to get current? I don't have assets and my income was zero for the 2021 year. Is it just putting zeroes in the applicable fields in a 1040 and sending it in or is there something more?

Let me know if anything was unclear, I am happy to clarify. I need to know which forms to file, where to send it, and if I need to pay anything.

Thank you in advance. I am a rank novice in matters of tax and assistance is welcome. I tried posting this in r/taxhelp but it kept getting flagged by the filters. I have no idea why.

Update: My preparer has directed me with the 2022 taxes, I just need information about 2021
