My son used turbo tax and has already filed but another w-2 came in after filing, what is the best way to handle this situation?

[Texas Roger · Accepted solution]

The return is in the TurboTax servers and there is no way to get it back. He will have to wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects his return on or after Jan. 28. If it is rejected, he can add the W-2 and fix the reason for rejection and resubmit it. 

If it is accepted, he must wait until the IRS processes his return and sends him the refund if he is getting one. After that he can begin to prepare, print, sign and mail an amended return form 1040X to add the W-2. He should not make any changes to the tax return he filed until he starts the amending process. The amended return form 1040X may not be available in TurboTax until the end of February or later. It takes the IRS about 16 weeks to process an amended return. It must be printed and mailed. It cannot be efiled.
