Get your taxes done using TurboTax

First----is that the mistake you made?  Did you enter all of the income under one name?  You fix the 2018 mistake by paying the IRS.  And you check to see if you made the same mistake on your 2019 return.  If you did, then amend your 2019 return before the IRS sends you a letter about it.  You will probably owe some tax when you amend 2019 too.
