If I have combined my income as a freelancer with my income on my W2 form, will I still receive my refund?

I need to amend my tax form because I reported that I earned more than what was listed on my W2 Form.

It is not clear what you actually did.   Do you mean you entered your freelance writing income in the same part of the software where you entered a W-2 somehow?   What did you do to enter it?   Your freelance writing income should have been entered as self-employment income and you should have paid self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare for that income.   We cannot see your return.

 We cannot say what the IRS will do --- your return might go under review if you made mistakes and they might require you to provide further information about your W-2.   But.....wait for the IRS.  Do not start messing around with your return until the IRS either fully processes it or sends you a request for information.

Amend your return to add or change information on an already filed tax return.

If you filed incorrectly, you should amend.

If you e-Filed 1040 you can e-File 1040-X.

1040-X becomes your new tax return.

Make sure it is complete and accurate this time.
