My return has been accepted since January 13th, I got my second w-2 today so I amended my return what will happen now? will I receive the return that was accepted first and then will I have to re-amend my tax forms in 2-3 months?

No, you cannot do it that way.  If you already e-filed with just one of your W-2's, you have to wait until the IRS begins processing returns on January 23.

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 tax return 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 need to use a form called a 1040X. 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

Please read the response you were given previously.  You cannot "amend" your return by just going onto the one you already filed and changing something. If you have to amend a tax return, you have to wait until the 1040X form becomes available in mid-February and prepare a proper amended return following the outlined procedures.  If you just try to change your existing return it will be a mess.
