2 corrected W-2's

My employer didn't correctly update my tax location when I moved from TX to CA in 2019. They just now sent corrected W-2's for 2019 and 2020. Originally got refunds both years. What's the best way to proceed with amending my 2019 and 2020 filings?

My employer sent me corrected W-2's for both 2019 and 2020. Fed returns don't change, but now I believe owe State taxes. I understand how to change the 2019 returns, but how do I import the changed information into my 2020 returns?


You can't "import" it.   You just amend 2020 using the instructions above and edit (or delete and re-enter) the W-2 information to the correct amounts.     Exactly the same way as 2019.

To amend a return 

Some quick ground rules:

  1. Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
  2. DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
  3. Gather everything you need before you start.
  4. Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
  5. Starting with 2020 tax returns you can E-File a 1040-X amended tax return.  All prior years must be printed and mailed.

 You can correct a return that you've already filed and had accepted.  Select the year that applies and use this guide to proceed.
