Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, it's quite possible you will receive your original refund.  You will need to be prepared to amend your tax return once it has been accepted and processed.  Possible scenarios:

  1. If the return is rejected you can add the additional W-2 and send it back for e-file.
  2. If the return is accepted as you filed it, then you must wait for the IRS to have time to process.

You will want to do this before April 18th, in case you do owe tax. Form 1040-X will be available on February 23rd.

Yes, the IRS will catch it but it will be much later (could be as long as two years) when the documents are reconciled with the tax return. If there is any tax due, there will be penalties and interest for late payment if you wait.

 

Be sure to read all the instructions carefully so that TurboTax knows the original numbers and the changed numbers for your amendment.
