You can amend your taxes to add this W-2. WAIT until you receive your refund and then follow the instructions below to Amend.

Here is how to enter you W-2 once you are in the Amend return:

  1. Choose Federal Taxes Tab ( Personal Tab and Personal Income In Home and Business)
  2. Select Wages and Income.
  3. Select I'll choose what I work on.
  4. Under Wages and Salaries W2 select Start/Update.
  5. You will now be at the interview process for entering your W2.

Follow these steps to amend: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to start accepting or rejecting 2020 tax returns on February 12, 2021
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

@Lavetteb1, unfortunately, if you have already e-filed your return, you would not be able to amend a pending return. If you need to amend your return, , you would need to wait until it's either been accepted or rejected. If it's rejected, you can simply go in and fix the error, add the W-2 and re-submit your return. If it's accepted, you would want to wait until you receive your refund and then use the link provided below to make sure you really need to amend:

@Mohammad1990 Wait until you receive your Refund from your originally filed return.

 

Then click on this link for instructions on How to Amend Your Return.

 

Make sure you save a copy of your originally filed return before starting your amended return.
