I forgot to put in another w2 but I already e filed my taxes

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

An e-filed tax return cannot be cancelled, retrieved or changed.  Do NOT change anything on the return that has been filed.  TurboTax will send you an email when the IRS either accepts or rejects the tax return.

If the IRS rejects the return you can add the W-2 and re-file.  If the IRS accepts the return, then you must wait for the tax refund or the taxes owed and paid to be processed.  You would then have to file an amended tax return, Form 1040X, to add the W-2 to the accepted tax return.  An amended federal tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.  The IRS will take 16 weeks or longer to process the amended tax return.

If you have filed the 2019 tax return then you will have to amend the 2019 tax return to add the 2019 W-2.

If you would like to file the additional W-2 that was recently received, you can amend your return. For information on how to amend your return please click the link below.

This is not acceptable, as what was e-file rejected is a different amount than has been returned.  I need to know who to reach out to to get this corrected.

Was your return rejected, or did you receive a refund in a different amount than was expected? Please leave a comment for further assistance.

Did my taxes, but forgot to add a next w2 from a job I only work at for a month.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you need will not be available until late February.
