So this super weird thing happened to me. I was reviewing my 2021 Tax Return when i noticed i forgot to include the last letter of one of my employers. So i added it and then i forgot to put “INC” at the end of one of my employers name. then i called turbotax and they said not to worry about it and i don’t need to amend. when i hit cancel return I backed out and hit view return and it shows me an amended return and how to file it. but then when i go back and delete the things i inputted and then i sign out and sign back in and it’s back to normal and it happens if you put anything in and then hit cancel return. do i need to go through my entire return again to make sure i didn’t mess it up somewhere because it apparently saves everything you do even when you hit cancel amendment.

    STOP ....  nothing more needs to be done as this has no effect on the return you already filed.   The IRS only looks at the employer's EIN anyway ... the name of the business is irrelevant.

     

    For instance ... for 30+ years I have efiled the Office of Personal Management W-2 using  OPM without any issue ... proves the name entered means nothing.
