So how long before I receive my second refund?

[MichelleLO]

Can you please clarify your question, did you amend your return, and are expecting a refund?

I just did my second W-2 and saw what I was getting back. I received my first refund, when will I receive my second refund.

If you filed an amended return to get your "second refund" it may take up to sixteen weeks to get that refund.

You are supposed to file one tax return and include all of your W2 forms at the same time. You are also supposed to include any other income you may have and any credits for which you are eligible. 

If you file your W-2 forms one at a time, you may find yourself owing money on the second one.

Things like Earned Income Credit are based on your family size, filing status and total income, so if you don't include your total income, the refund will be wrong. 

If you find you left something off your original tax return, you can amend your return and add what you left off. That is not something you should do unless you have to.

After you filed the original return and you got the original refund then to add more income you had to amend the return and either mail it in or efile it successfully.   If you did either then processing of amended returns will take 4 months or much longer.  

Look at the form 1040X …

Column A should have the figures from the original return, Column C the corrected figures and Column B the differences between the other 2 which needs an explanation on page 2 of the form 1040X.

If you completed it correctly you will see an entry on either line 16 OR 18:

On line 16 should be the amount you paid with your original return. If you paid nothing already then this line should be zero.

On line 18 should be the amount of your original refund you received.  If you have not received your refund yet then you need to wait for it.  If the refund changes from what you expected then this line must reflect that change.

Then you will see your extra refund on line 22 OR  the new balance due you need to pay on line 20.
