Question

Accepted return missed W-2. Wait for refund before amending? Can I e-file 1040-X today, or should I pay the estimated balance now to avoid fees and interest?

Pay the estimated tax to avoid interest.   No need to file the 1040-X today - you have 3 years, but pay so you avoid the interest.   IRS Payments
