Yes, the tax return will need to be amended(changed) if the income does not match what was received. 

 

To Amend(change) your 2020 TurboTax Online return, follow these steps:

  • Open the return--you will be at Tax Home.
  • Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and Show.
  • Select 2020, and Amend(change) return.

Only after the amend process has been started, then, navigate to the Jobs(Form W-2) section.

 

To edit Form W-2 in TurboTax, follow these steps:

  • Inside TurboTax with your return open, enter w2 in the search box.
  • Select the Jump to link in the search results.
  • Enter your details.

Amending 2020 electronically is available. However, unless you live in Georgia, Michigan, New York, or Vermont, any state amended return must be paper filed.
