did you submit a tax return with incorrect amounts?

if so, did it get ACCEPTED?

I was doing my minor sons taxes and accidently put 2021 on 2022 tax returns how do I correct this.

If you have submitted the returns for e-filing already you must now wait.  First, wait for notification of "acceptance" or "rejection" by email.  If the return is rejected, you will need to correct the items causing the rejection, but you also can change any other items in the return.  

 

Go back to the W2 topic and delete the incorrect W2 and enter the correct form W2 information.  Then refile the return. If you have not submitted the return you can also follow this step to make correction before filing.

 

If the return is "accepted" then you must wait again for the return to be processed by the IRS.  This could be indicated by a refund being deposited or most likely he (you) will get a letter from the IRS notifying of a W2 reporting error.  The letter will have instructions on how to proceed. 

 

Should you need to amend, the amend option will be available on your TurboTax sign in sometime mid to late February.  You would click that option and follow the prompts to file the 1040X.
