After you file

There's nothing you can do now but wait for your refund to come in. 

  • You'll have to amend your income tax returns when you get the corrected W-2, sometime in March. 
  • When you amend a tax return, the IRS does not go into your account and take back the refund. 

If you can find out from your employer the reason for the corrected W-2, it might help to know how it will affect you.

  • If the reason for the corrected W-2 is because your wages were wrong (lower than the original W-2), you may need to pay some of the refund back.
  • If the reason for the corrected W-2 is because your wages were wrong (higher than the original W-2), you will get an additional refund.

When you do get the corrected W-2, see How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed
