Hello I have to fix my taxes after I filed on turbo tax and all that’s coming up is the amount of my refund and the refund planner but no where to review or edit my w2 Is it too late ? Very confused on why the menu isn’t showing up

What do you mean by "fix" it? You cannot change anything after you e-file. You have to wait until it has been fully processed if your e-file was accepted. After that you can amend to fix your mistakes.
Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?” If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet. You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.
You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.
If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.” The changes will go nowhere.
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 tax return 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 e-file or mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X.
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
Yes, it rejected it then told me I had to put in a different number for my W2 but the menu to review / edit isn’t even coming up any more
