I just received my W2 in the amount of $1,500+ stating tax withheld of $300 + but I already filed my 2020 tax return and a refund was likewise issued.

[elmerakut]

can I include this particular w2 when filing my 2024 income tax return next year

You have to include a W-2 in your tax return for the year that the W-2 is for. You cannot include it in a different year.

You said "I already filed my 2020 tax return." Did you mean 2020 or did you mean 2023? Is the W-2 for 2023?

If the W-2 is for 2023, and you already filed your 2023 tax return, you have to file an amended return for 2023 to add the missing W-2. You cannot include a 2023 W-2 in your 2024 tax return. See the following FAQ for instructions to file an amended return.

How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?

Before you start to amend your return in TurboTax Online, be sure to download a PDF of your original tax return and save it on your own computer. Once you amend it, you will no longer be able to access the original in TurboTax.

The IRS is currently taking 16 weeks or more to process an amended return.

If you filed a state tax return, you will have to amend that as well. TurboTax will guide you through that.
