Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Texast806 - have you pulled up your transcript on IRS.GOV? that would be a good starting point so you can confirm what numbers the IRS is starting with. 

 

With the updates to the erroneous W-2, does the transcript now reflect the same numbers you used when submitting the return? If so, why even think of amending? 

 

As painful as it may be, best to wait until the IRS completes the processing of the original return before attempting to amend.  Once the IRS completes processing the original, you'll know exactly what they did and not have to guess.  The risk is that if you amend prior to the processing of the original return, you are guessing at the starting numbers (and that may be something other than what is related to the W-2 issue) that need to be in the left column of Form 1040X - and taht could confuse things even more

 

It just makes no sense to me to amend until you see what the IRS does first.  No amendment may be necessary once they complete the processing.
