Question

Wrong W-2 submitted on Fed return, but haven't yet submitted State and Local

Forum|Forum|2 years ago

I just realized that I inputted a W-2 from last year on this year's Federal return and submitted it. It has been accepted and I know that I have to wait until it's fully processed to amend it with 1040-x. BUT, I haven't yet submitted my state and local taxes. Do I fix the error and send State and Local returns with the correct W-2, OR do I send in based on the incorrect Federal return and amend State and Local returns later when I amend the Federal return?

You could enter the correct W-2 in your Federal return, then Efile your State/Local returns with the correct info.

Then remove the correct W-2 and replace it with the incorrect one, pending preparation of your Amended Return.

Here's more info on How to Amend Your Tax Return.
