How do I amend my 2020 taxes ? I entered the stimulus amount on line 30. And where's my w-2s?

I don't remember putting that on my taxes.

TurboTax does  not keep a copy of your W2 forms.   

 

You will either have to contact your employer to request a copy or get a tax return transcript from the IRS:

Did you file an original 2020 tax return?  Did you forget to enter your W-2's when you filed?   If you entered them when you filed the original 2020 return you do not have to "find" them now---the information is already there in Federal>Wages & Income.   If you forgot to enter a W-2 when you filed, that is a different story and you need to get a copy of the W-2 from your employer.   

 

Are you only amending to seek the recovery rebate credit?   Could someone else claim you as a dependent for 2020?  If so, you have not become eligible for the credit now in 2024.  Getting that credit is based on your circumstances in 2020.   

 

I am concerned that you posted your question from a current online version of the software.  Are you actually working from your own original 2020 return in order to amend and prepare a 1040X to make changes to a 2020 return that you filed?
