forgot w2

[jamesh1022]

I filed on 1/24 and was accepted on the 27th, I forgot to add a w2 from a part time job I worked at for a month. I am affected by the path and want to know will this hold me up as well? I know we can amend but I have been hearing different stories about them holding your refund until you amend? also, would this cause a 570 code on your transcript? not saying I have one bc I cant see mine but have been hearing alot of people getting that code. thanks.

No, it will not hold up your return. Ignore the fact that you had PATH for a moment. It usually takes months for the IRS to catch up to something like a missing W-2.

If you were to amend today, you will mail the return which would take several days. Then it would sit at the IRS with all the other amendments coming in. Then they would match your return, see that indeed you did not report the income and process the amendment. This is not a quick process.

I left off 4 W2s..... My return is currently sitting because they are waiting on my 1095A and 8962 to arrive. While my return is sitting for the next month waiting on those forms will they audit it??? Should I amend AFTER I receive my refund?

Yes, if the return was already filed, you will need to wait until it has been processed and you have received your refund or confirmation that any tax due was paid. (If you file an amended return while your first return is being processed, it can cause extended delays for both returns) 

How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?

Amended returns can only be mailed. It is suggested that it be mailed certified with return receipt (or other tracking service) to verify that the IRS receives it.

You can check the status of the amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after mailing.

How do I track my amend status?

Thank you! I will just wait for them to process my 8962 and 1095A and hope they do not notice my missing W2s before I get my first refund
