I started the amending process but not sure what to do now, I received two w2's after I filed my first one and changed my gross pay but I'm not sure what to mail out?

When you have prepared your amended return and are ready to mail Form 1040-X you should include the following forms:

·         The new (amended) Form 1040X

·         Any forms or schedules that were added or changed as a result of preparing the amendment (in your situation, this would be the two W-2s you received after filing your federal tax return)

You will need to wait until your original tax return is processed by the IRS before filing an amended return. If you are receiving a refund, you should wait until the check is issued or you receive your direct deposit.   

Please note that 1040-X cannot be e-filed - you will need to mail a paper return.  It takes the IRS at least 2 - 3 months (and sometime up to 6 months) to process amended returns.  Also, depending on whether the changes affect your numbers, you may also be required to file an amended return with your state.  

The mailing address for you state and situation can be found at Where to File Addresses for Taxpayers and Tax Professionals Filing Form 1040X
