When do I amend?

I accidentally filed my 2017 W2 on my 2018 return. I was placed on a 45 day review starting 3/4 and just realized what I did yesterday. So I called the IRS and the lady told me I would need to amend. Do I wait until my review is over to amend or do it now? And would the IRS fix the issue internally during the 45 day review process?

If the IRS agent told you to amend your return, you should go ahead and amend your return to remove your 2017 W-2 from your 2018 filing. Here is a link to the instructions to Amend My Return in TurboTax.

If you did not include your 2017 W-2 in your 2017 filing, you should also amend or file your 2017 return. Here's a link to our Past Years Products.

I did my 2017 already and it was done correctly, so that one is fine. I'm just afraid if I amend now before my review is over then it will cause even more of a delay.
