I forgot to add a W-2 form that is really small to my taxes. What do I need to do to?

I have a W-2 from a school job I worked at that I forgot to add to my income this year, what do I need to do to? Do I need to refile? I realized this 10 minutes after filing so I haven't received anything from the IRS.

If your return is accepted you will get an email. If the return is rejected the e-mail will tell you what to correct and you can make changes before e-filing again. Amend to change an accepted return after you get your refund. Instructions below

Yes, if you filed your 2023 taxes already you will have to re-file with an amended tax return.

Please follow these guidelines to complete the amended return.

 

If you want to make changes, or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted you should follow these guidelines.

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
    • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
    • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
