Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I already filed my return and forgot I worked a few days at a job last year, until I just received the w2 from them. What do I do? I don't want to be in trouble w/ IRS.

Also, the amend form isn't available until 3/26. I think my return will be processed before that date.

If the amount is small I would just let the IRS adjust your return.

your return MIGHT be rejected in which case you can add the w-2 and re- e-file.

You will need to amend your return, unless it is rejected. The amendment form should be available toward the end of February. 

 

Don't worry about getting in trouble, this happens a lot. As long as you fix it before April 18, there won't be any problems.

after you e-File you get one shot to e-File 1040-X.

don't waste it by being hasty.

Make sure there are no other issues that need correction.

You can e-File 1040-X up until Oct 15.
