If I went to a tax preparer and they left off a w-2 can I fix it myself?

Yes, you can amend your own taxes even if you originally filed with a tax preparer. Here's how in TurboTax

1. Purchase TurboTax: You can access TurboTax software from the TurboTax website.
2. Recreate Your Original Return: Use TurboTax to recreate your original tax return exactly as it was filed. This includes all the information and any errors or omissions. Answer the questions to personalize your experience, and TurboTax will guide you.
3. Indicate Filing Method: When you reach the filing section, select the option to print and mail the return. This will allow TurboTax to recognize your return as filed.
4. Amend the Return: After recreating the original return, sign out. Then log in to your account, open the tax return you already printed, and click on the link to amend your return.
5. Follow the Amendment Process: TurboTax will guide you through the amendment process, including entering the new or corrected information.
