I accidentally forgot to add a W2 to my taxes and it has already been sent.

Maybe.  You will either get another refund or have a Tax due on the amended return.  You have to fill it out and see.  Maybe you had enough withholding taken out in box 2 to cover the tax.  Yes you have to send a check for the amended return if you have a tax due.  There is nothing to take it out of.

I forgot to add a w2 what can I do to change that 

[Ebony A]

If you have already filed your tax return, once it has been processed, you will need to amend the return to report the missing W-2. The steps for doing so can be found here @Hansrof.

I filed on March 12. The income tax service I paid to file my taxes, forgot to include a w-2 form. It has been almost a month now, and my refund says is being processed and that it is delayed in the IRS webpage. My concern is, I’ve read that if it was rejected I have to file again, and the deadline is April 18th. How long does it take for the IRS to process refunds when a w-2 is missing? 
How can I know if my refund was approved? The person said my refund was approved the same day he filed my taxes (I don’t believe it).

Unless you or they used Turbo Tax you will have to take their word for it.  If it was efiled, they should have a printout or email saying it was accepted. I got my Accepted in 20 min.  If you have a refund you can check the IRS Where's My Refund but that is flakey and isn't always right or updated.

If your return was Accepted or mailed then check IRS Where's my refund

Oh but you said the IRS is still processing it?  It is taking the IRS longer this year to process returns.  It won't be rejected.   Rejected means they didn't even accept it for processing.  So they have it.  If they have any questions they will mail you a letter.  All you can do is wait.     You don't have to file anything else before April 18.  Wait to amend because the IRS might catch the missing W2 and adjust your return for you.

A employer sent my w2 after 1/31/2023 it was sent to me on the 6th of the month of Feb.  I already did my taxes and it was afdepted,  but I did not add this w2 the site says i got to wait until the 16th of feb, 2023. since you can amend the taxes can I amdend it with turbo tax and do I need to print it out and mail it to the irs will that affect my return. It was not my fault it was  the employers the mail date said 2/2/2023.  Who gets in trouble me or the employer.

this happen to me on 2021 As well . And I had to amend the tax;  do I still get my refund since it was accepted or will it be on pause until I add this w2 that was not sent out to me on time. And will I get audit for it.  Why do employers think it's okay to send out these forms late. They know of the government law to send it out but yet they wait.  So who gets the fine me or the employer if any and is there a fine for the  tax payer . I was told by the irs in 2021 to amend it if anything is missing you could get another refund or pay in.  And that the employer gets notified so my thing is does this cause a audit.

You won't need to print your return or mail it, you can do the amended return online. It should not affect the refund due you now. It should not create an audit for you. There is no fine involved for you as long as you get the return corrected by the due date of the tax return.  @Kristystauffer

what do you do when you for to put one w2

[CarissaM]

If you forgot a W2, you will need to amend your return in order to add this in. Currently, the amended return is not available as it is too early for amended returns. 

You can view the help FAQ here and how to amend your state here. You will need to send the return in by mail once completed. @msbiancaojeda

So if I forgot to add my wife’s w2 on our taxes and they’ve already been accepted I wait till I get my $ return then amend it ?

so do I have to send back that original $ return or can I spend it and they’ll just send the extra $ when I add her w2?

don’t wanna get in any trouble spending it but have bills asap

[Critter-3]

Until you know how much you may need to send back you should err on the side of caution but you do have until 4/18  to amend the return and send the balance due so you can figure this out for yourself.

my first w-2 was accepted, but  then i receive my second w-2 form Because i had two jobs last year.  Should i wait until i receive my tax refunds and then file the second W-2  like normal The same way i did with the first W-2 ?

[MichelleLO]

Yes, you need to wait to receive your refund, then amend your return to report the other W-2.

@Eyad105881 

[VolvoGirl]

@Eyad105881  No not like normal.  After you get the first refund you file an Amended 1040X return to correct the first return.

Hi, so responding to you post with a question. So if I file my taxes but at the time didn’t have my other W2 will the IRS still accept the return or will they reject it and if it’s accepted is there a chance it can be flagged or audited???
