I filed my sons taxes and realized a W2 was missed, what do I do

How do I do an amended tax to add a missed W2

[xmasbaby0 · Accepted solution]

Wait until his return has been fully processed, and then you can amend to add the W-2.  Do not try to make any changes at all yet.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
