If you have already filed your 2022 return, you want to amend it once your return has been accepted and you have received your refund, if you are getting a refund. If you were to amend the return beforehand, it could cause issues with the processing.
Please wait on your corrected W-2 to make sure there are no other changes made to your W-2 other than your state wages being incorrect. If the state wages are the only information that was corrected, you will likely not need to take any additional steps. Since you know there were errors made on the W-2 and that the W-2 is already being corrected, you will want to verify all information on your W-2-C matches what was entered on the return. If you do need to amend your return, you can follow these steps after your return is accepted and processed by the IRS:
- Sign in to TurboTax
- Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents
- Select the year you want to amend
- Select Amend (change) return
- Then Amend using TurboTax Online
If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax CD/Download below instead:
