If the IRS has already accepted your return, you will need to amend it. While the IRS has just started processing returns for the 2019 tax year, submitting your return is similar to dropping it in a mailbox. You cannot cancel or retrieve it. If the IRS accepts your return, you will have to amend it and include the W2. Amended returns require paper filing. If they reject your return, you can simply make the necessary changes and resubmit. You will need to check within the next 24-48 hours for the status.
Should you have to amend, follow the steps below:
- Log into your TurboTax account
- Choose the tax year that you wish to amend
- Click Amend
- Make any necessary changes
Keep in mind that when you are amending, the refund tracker monitors the difference from your original filing to the amended return. It does not include any original refund or balance due. If you are claiming any previously unreported income, you could see a balance due.
The 1040x for amended returns is not yet available for the 2019 tax season. Its estimated availability is February 5, 2020.
