The amended return is a form 1040X. It must be printed, signed, and mailed to the IRS. It cannot be efiled. If you have not mailed a 1040X to the IRS, you have not completed the amended return process.

on the 1040x form im just putting in the information for the w-2 thats not on my already filed tax return right? this stuff is kind of confusing. and i don't want to fill it in wrong!

The 1040X must include everything that was on your original return plus the W-2 you are adding. See these instructions for help: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed"...>
