Hey I literally just filed my taxes not realizing my employer gave us two W2s due to the frequency in our pay. Do I have to wait to add this once it's been accepted

First of all why did you get 2 W2s?  You should only get 1 W2 from each employer.  Yes you have to wait.

You cannot change or add 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 after Feb 12 when the IRS starts processing returns.  If your return is Rejected you can go back into your account and fix it, then resubmit it.

But if the IRS Accepts your return you have to wait even longer for the IRS to fully process your return and you get the first Refund.  You will still have to pay the tax due if you owe on it. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return.

Ok thank you for the info. And my employer changed our pay frequency from biweekly to weekly around October. So I have 1 W2 from then up till October and a second from then till the end of the year. That's Amazon lol what can I say 

[VolvoGirl]

Changing the frequency should not matter.  The W2 is for your total income for the year.  They must have paid you from another employer number.  Is the EIN number the same in box b?

[scott-riano]

Yes everything is the same on both other than wages etc. Other associates are complaining just the same.

Maybe the second W2 is a corrected one?  If Amazon messed up please post back and let us know if you find out anything.

[scott-riano]

I surely will. Thank you for the information on what I need to do to ammend them.

Yes---does the second one say W-2C on it?   Getting two W-2's from the same employer makes no sense.

[scott-riano]

No it doesn't  only difference is the 1st one shows wages up till October and the second shows wages till the end of December. This is all of hourly associates though not just myself 

[VolvoGirl]

Till the end of December from when?  Just fromOct or from January?  Wait for Amazon to fix it or clarify.

[xmasbaby0]

I suggest waiting too.  The IRS will not be accepting returns until February 12 so there is time for this to be sorted out.  Amazon is a huge employer---seems like they would get this figured out.

[scott-riano]

Yes 1st one is from January 2020 to October 2020 and the second is from October 2020 to the end of December 2020 .
