If you received a W-2 after filing, the correct procedure next is to file an amendment. If you returned to the program without specifying you needed to amend, it will not update your Form 1040.
First, you will need to wait
to see if your original return is accepted or rejected. If rejected, you may correct
and resubmit.
If accepted, please reference this TurboTax FAQ for how to amend.
Please remember:
An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed.
Three weeks after you mailed your amendment, you can start tracking its progress at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? site.
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.
The IRS will take 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
