Entered wrong income

No one can see your screen or your tax return.  Did you enter the wrong W-2?  Enter an amount from a box incorrectly?    Enter income in the wrong place in the software?  Please explain so we will know how to help.  And...did you e-file already?

Entered wrong income

If you have not filed the 2023 tax return then just return to the section where you need to change the income.

Click on Federal on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Wages & Income

Go to where you need to make changes

 

If you have filed the 2023 tax return -


You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
