I messed up and thought my company had given us access to our 2021 w2’s online, they didn’t, I used the 2020 tax year without realizing it and already filed my taxes.help

I went online and saw a section for W2’s on my ADP app and thought my company had sent out 2021. I didn’t realize when I was filing that I used the same W2 from the previous year until after I sent my tax return in. I need to know how to correct this.

your return will likely be rejected. then you can fix it and resubmit.  you'll have to wait until about 1/24 when e-filing is opened. then with a day or 2 you should get a rejection e-mail.

MY RETURN IS IN PENDING—what does that mean?

Did you e-file?  Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”  If so, your return is now in “pending” on a server.  Do not try to change anything while your return is in pending. By January 24 the IRS will begin to accept/reject e-files.   If your return is rejected you will be able to make corrections before re-filing.   If the return you e-filed is accepted you will have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend it to fix your mistake.
