So i made a mistake, i filed early, received another w-2 after, asked for an amendment, i received an email from turbo saying i received the 1040 form. Now, i haven't received the original refund yet, and i don't have the money to add the w2 and send in the amended return. So should i just not send the amended form and leave it as it is? (Not adding the other w2 and act as if everything is fine lol)

    Wait until you get the refund then amend. You have 3 years.

    Jesus something so simple, i was stressing over this. I definitely have to educate myself on taxes, i really appreciate it.

    Yes.  In cases of missing income forms the IRS normally catches those and will send you a letter notifying you of the finding.  The letter will provide instruction on what to do if you agree or if you disagree with the finding.  If the refund is deposited, you can amend your return at that time.  

     

    Here is a link with some helpful information on amending a tax return.
