After you file

You will be adding taxable income when you add the W-2, but hopefully your spouse had tax withheld too.   We cannot see any of your information so it would be careless for us to predict the results of the amended return you will be preparing.    It is possible that you will owe.   Wait until your first return has been fully processed.  Do not try to amend or change anything on your return yet.

 

It is too soon to amend a 2024 tax return.   You have to wait until it has been fully processed by the IRS.  Sometimes the IRS catches and corrects mistakes you made.   And the Form 1040X you will need is not available until mid-February.  Amending too soon can cause confusion and long delays.
