After you file

You will not be "in trouble" for making a mistake.  But what did you do to amend, and when did you do it?

You should not try to amend a tax return that has been filed and accepted until it has been fully processed.  Otherwise you can cause confusion and delays.  

 

An amended return must be prepared on a Form 1040X which has to be printed, signed, and mailed.  It cannot be e-filed.

 

So---what did you do to amend/correct the W-2?
