I've already filed my taxes, but got a new w-2 from the mail. I also received a 1099-misc with it that I have to pay taxes too. Is there a way to amend my first claim?

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your income and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. You will be needing to use a form called a 1040X, which becomes available in mid-February. You cannot e-file an amended return. They have to be mailed, and it takes at least 2-3 months for the IRS to process an amended return. Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

My e-file is already accepted by the IRS, but I haven't received my refund. So if I file a 1040X after i get my refund, does the IRS take back my refund until they finish the process?
