I’m trying to redo my taxes I forgot to add a w2 form

If you have already filed the 2025 tax return -

 

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

If your return is rejected, you can go directly back in and make changes.

 If it is accepted, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tax Home screen, 
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and 
  3. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
  4. Then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  5. (If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.)
  6. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
