What if I got another W-2 Form after filing my return & getting a refund?
A couple of weeks after filing my tax return, I received another W-2 that came from a small settlement worth a couple hundred dollars. My return was accepted and I have since received my refund. Can I apply the W-2 to next year's taxes?
On another note, I've seen articles that state an amended tax return (1040X) should be filed in my case BUT I have also seen articles that state NOT to file an amendment if only reporting an additional W-2 (in this case, one should wait for contact from the IRS).
Which is true? What should I do?

Hi there BB_14,
You filed your 2013 return and have already received your refund, but now you have an additional W-2 and would like to know how that changes things and what the next steps are. We can help with that.
Should you amend or not, that is not something we can decide for you. Here is a link I think will help.
How do I Know If I Need to Amend
As for how an amended return effects your return :
he IRS treats
the Original return and the Amended return as two separate
transactions. What this means for you is the IRS will process your
Original return and send you a bill (if you owe) or a refund (if they
owe you).
The IRS will then send you another bill (if you owe
them) or another refund (if they owe you more) after they process the
Amended return.
Hope this helps, if you need additional information please let us know.

BB_14 - You cannot claim your W-2 next year. You should amend and report the income.
Once you file it is like dropping it into the mail - it is gone and cannot be changed.
To amend your 2013 tax return:
-- First, wait to see if your return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS or state.
-- If rejected, you can correct and re-send your return.
-- If accepted you must wait until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. (If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time).
-- Then you can start the amend process.
-- Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks for processing.
You can check the status of your mailed amended return at this link but allow 3 weeks after mailing before checking.

You will need to Amend your Return, if you have already filed and received more W-2's.. Wait until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. (If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time).
