I filed using the wrong w2

You cannot change anything on the return that you just e-filed. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your income and re-submit your return. If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return. They have to be mailed, and it takes at least a couple of months for the IRS to process an amended return. Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed.

Scroll down on the page where you just posted your question. The same answer still applies.

Hobsonch031612 have you gotten your refund yet? What happened?

Cricotta · ‎June 7, 2019

Same here filed an old one by accident and forgot one because it came late. I have no update and was “chosen” for that 45 day review smh

lakeworth12 · ‎June 7, 2019

Joshwatson3140 did you have to verify your ID. Did you get a letter in the mail?

Cricotta · ‎June 7, 2019

No letter yet(one was sent ) and I called and they said everything looks good on my account, but I been pulled for a 45 day review starting March 4th

Cricotta · ‎June 7, 2019

But that’s how I know there lying (when he said my account looked good) because I know that old w2 was in there. I had another w2 come after I filed (I forgot I worked at that job). It’s just a waiting game at this point

lakeworth12 · ‎June 7, 2019

Joshwatson3140 so you didn’t have to verify your ID? Just wondering because that’s what I had to do and still haven’t received my refund yet.

Cricotta · ‎June 7, 2019

Not sure. I can call the verify i.d hotline and see and comment back on here tomorrow if that helps. I filed 1/28 and still don’t have mine. Went from that 1541 to processing then code 570 on my transcript. Irs does not want to give you answers. Every forum I go to, people say the same thing I
Hope we get answers soon
