I already filed and made a mistake on my social security tax amount. How can I fix it and what do I need to do?

You will need to file an amended return (1040X) to report your missing W-2 for 2019.

You won't be able to amend your tax return until the IRS releases the 1040-X Amendment form for 2019. The IRS estimate for issuing the 1040X form is mid February.

Make sure that your 2019 return was accepted in TurboTax Online or paper-filed through the mail by the IRS.

To prepare an amended return through TurboTax, follow these steps:

Sign in to TurboTax.
Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show), select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
Carefully follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
When finished, we'll give you instructions for printing and mailing your amended return as amendments can't be e-filed.

Regina, thanks for the information. The instructions you provide appear to be for persons who used TurboTax's online version. What about for those of us who used the CD/software version? How can we file a 1040X?

Thanks
