What happens if I filed already and I get a w2?

If this is another W-2 from 2017 and you have already e-filed, you will need to wait until the IRS has accepted or rejected the return before and amend it. There is no way to add it before the IRS has accepted or rejected it. 
  • If they accept, you will need to wait until the return is processed and you have received your refund and then amend. If you owe them, pay them first and then amend. 
  • If they reject, you can add the additional W-2 that you have and re-submit the return. 
Once the 2017 amend option is available, 2017 will become a clickable link below. You can then click it for instructions on how to amend the return. 

And you'll find steps on how to add that second W-2 here Where do I add or enter a second W-2? when you are ready to amend.
