I just filed my taxes yesterday. However, I completely forgot about my husband's second W2. Do I need to wait to file an amended return until the first is received?

The difference is my return is it should be $830.00 less. Do I go ahead and submit an amended return and pay the $830.00? Or do I need to wait for the initial return to be refunded to me and then send in the owed?

You should wait until the original return is completely processed.

  • Wait for the original return to be completely processed
  • Then prepare an amended return.
  • You can also then make the payment at  Individual Online Account. .
