If I already filed my 2023 return but later noticed that it was 2022 w2 how to fix while they are still processing?

I just realized that I accidentally filed my tax return this year with last years w2 and they have been processing my return for 25 days what can I do to fix it

You cannot fix it while the return is being processed.  You have to wait until it has been fully processed and then amend to remove that incorrect W-2 and enter the 2023 W-2.  Do not try to make any changes to your return while the IRS is still processing the original.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been submitted, you should follow these guidelines. 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. 
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
