How do I check if both of my w-2 were filed I online see one when I open the app but then I see the second one saying in progress or filed but it’s not showing on the app

I filed one of my w-2 then I went back and filed again with my second w-2 it wouldn’t let me add then together so I had to file separately

Okay---you messed up.   ALL of your W-2's were supposed to go on the same tax return.  You cannot go back and file another one later after you already e-filed.

 

 

 

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

@rhyaleymc It is too soon to amend a 2021 return.   The 1040X will not be ready until late February/early March---and you should wait until your original return has been fully processed so you do not cause confusion and delay by putting a second return into the system while they are still working on your first return.

Yes. If your return has been processed you can complete your amended tax return and submit it. Make sure you follow all the instructions so that TurboTax knows the original figures and the changed information.
