1) If you haven't actually e-filed it yet (hit the "Transmit Now" button), then you just navigate back to the income section, delete that income and wait for your proper 2024 documents to be issued and re-enter the correct numbers.
2) If you hit the "Transmit Now" button. Then, you must wait until much later this month to see what the IRS does with your file. Hope and Pray that the IRS "Rejects" it for some reason. (they are not "expected" to start until sometime around the week of 22 January)
.......2a) IF the IRS "Rejects" your e-file, then you just go back to the income section and correct it. (and enter anything else you "forgot" to include
........2b) If the IRS "Accepts" it, then you must wait for any refund or pay any tax due form the original...then in mid-late Feb, you prepare an "Amended" tax return to correct all that mis-entered data.

PLEASE PEOPLE ! Do Not file your taxes until Feb.
Certainly you can start on them in January, but sit on them for a couple weeks before filing.
oh, I just did the same thing. What happens if you don't amend it. My numbers are so close to my 2023 w-2
Hard to know...depends on how close and how picky they end up being.
You shouldn't attempt to do anything to Amend until late February...all kinds of tax forms are still being issued. so you may end up having more reasons to amend
.....like did you enter all your interest received during 2024...even anything 50cents or greater from pitifully low-yielding savings or checking accounts?
...and the IRS isn't expected to start responding to anyone for another 11-14 days (except for a few early test files), so you should not attempt to do anything until they respond anyhow.....and even then, not before the end of February.
Still have questions?
