Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello, thanks for joining us today!

 

If you receive a corrected Form W-2 after you filed your return, and the information differs from the information reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing Form 1040-X  as soon as possible. The correction might mean you are entitled to a higher refund, but if there is a tax due, you would want to file and pay the tax due as soon as possible to avoid any interest and penalties.
