Forgetting to add another w2 form

[Yancey_lynch]

I recently did my taxes for 2021 but realized I didn’t add my other w2s so is there a way I can change or amend it

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

If you have already submitted and e-filed your 2021 tax return, you would not be able to change it.

If you have another W2 that you forgot to add, and you want to amend the return, you would need to wait until it's either been accepted or rejected and then check IRS forms availability, as right now, amendments aren't available until 3/17/2022.
