Please explain first. Did you already e-file using the wrong W-2? Was the return accepted or rejected?

All income from all sources is only entered on ONE tax return. If you received another W-2 and you have filed the 2023 tax return, you will have to amend the 2023 return that was filed if the tax return was accepted by the IRS.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
