The IRS will start processing returns onJ an 23 Until then TurboTax will hold your pending e-filed return. Pending returns can not be changed. If your return is accepted you will get an email. If the return is rejected the e-mail will tell you what to correct and you can make changes before e-filing again. Amend to change an accepted return after you get your refund.

You have enter ALL of your income on a tax return before it is filed.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either accept or reject your e-filed tax return after January 23.

If Rejected then you can enter the income you should have reported on the filed tax return and then e-file again

If Accepted then you will have to wait for the IRS to process the tax return and send the refund, assuming you have a tax refund.

Once the refund has been received then you will have to amend the tax return that was filed to add the additional W-2's you received. An amended tax return can take up to 6 months for the IRS to process.
