Amend tax return due specifying incorrect name on W-2
Hi,
I just discovered that I specified my wife's name on one of my W-2s when filling 2020 tax return by mistake.
I tried correcting it to my name today using TurboTax 2020 just to see what is going to happen and I see that we were supposed to get a better refund if I would have done it correctly.
Now the questions are:
1. How do I correct that?
2. Does IRS charge a penalty for my mistake? If it does, then how much.
3. Do I get an extra refund that I am entitled to or it is lost?
Thanks!
