Question

What lines do I correct on amended return?

I received a corrected W2 from my employer that corrected lines 3,4,5 and 6 of my W2 (ss wages, ss tax withheld, medicare wages and tips, and medicare tax withheld) due to me repaying a bonus I received in 2022. I need to amend my 2022 return that I filed but when I am trying to do it on turbotax it has me fill out a page that has me list the lines I am correcting and include an explanation for why I am correcting them. It is not clear if they mean the lines on my W2 that was corrected or the line number on the actual 1040/PIT form. Can someone help explain?

1040-X requires an explanation of what you did.

IRS asks you to mention explicitly each line on 1040-X that shows a change.

Generally if it is a simple amendment, you don't have to go nuts about it.

Can you clarify what it is you need help with amending? Did you receive a new form, have to change status?
