After you file

Did you do this to e-file the 2020 tax return -

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

If you did now you have to wait.  The IRS will not be accepting or rejecting any 2020 federal tax return until late January 2021.

If the tax return is rejected you can add the W-2 to your tax return and re-submit.

If the tax return is accepted then you have to wait to receive the federal tax refund.  Then you have to amend the 2020 tax return by using Form 1040X.  The amended tax return has to be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS.

The IRS will take 4 months or longer to process the amended tax return.  So if your the amended tax return has a tax refund, you will not receive the tax refund until June or July 2021, maybe even later.
