Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, 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. You also cannot just file another return for that W-2.
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 income 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 cannot e-file an amended return. They have to be mailed, and it takes at least a couple of 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.
