Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No.  You cannot combine W-2s from two different tax years.  Each must be filed for the tax year they were earned in.  The IRS will not automatically change your tax return for quite some time. And they would only correct the 2021 which could result in you having a balance due.

 

You must amend the 2021 tax return and file the original 2020 return.
