Already filed my return but I used the wrong W2. I used last year's instead of this year's. What do I need to do to fix it?

If you have already filed your return and it has been Accepted, you will need to wait until the IRS fully processes your return and you receive your refund. 

Next, you will need to Amend your Tax Return by filing Form 1040-X to adjust your wages to reflect your 2018 wage income and not your 2017 wage income. To do this, once you begin the Amend process as discussed below, you will need to delete the 2017 W2 and then enter your 2018 W2.

You can click here for instructions on Amending your tax return:  How to Change a Tax Return You Already Filed.
