If I already filed my tax return but I got a correction on my w2 and change address and got it corrected already. Should I refile or wait for a letter from irs?

You can file an amended return if the amount on the W-2 is significant and will change the taxes paid.  If not, just wait because the IRS will also receive the corrected W-2 and will contact you if necessary.

 

If you choose to amend, here are the steps.

 

TurboTax Online

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
  3. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
    • If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop below instead.
  4. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your amended return, select the reason(s) you're amending and Continue.
  5. When you reach Here's the info for your amended federal return, select Start next to the info you need to change.
  6. Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.

If you want to track the status of your amended return, use the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
