What happens if I file and forgot about one of my W2's? Can I use my other w2 for next year taxes?

No.

This is why its SO important not to file until you have ALL your paperwork.

You need to wait for the return to either be accepted or rejected by IRS. If rejected, you can add the W-2 and refile the return electronically.

If it's accepted, then you need to wait for the refund to be issued, then prepare an amended return, print, sign and mail it in, and wait the 12 weeks for them to process it and mail you any additional refund you may be entitled to.

Its possible that the additional W-2 actually reduces your refund, in which case you'll have to pay back any excess refund you received on the original filing along with the amended return when you mail it in.

And be sure to attach a copy of the new W-2.

If I'm not getting a refund, can I file an amended return now? I receive an email that the return I filed on 4/6/20 was accepted.
