Did you e-file the return? If you e-filed and the incorrect tax return has been fully processed, then you should amend it to make a correction. If the return has not been filed, then do not click on anything that says "amend." You only use the "amend" process for a return that has been fully processed by the IRS. If you have prepared----but not filed -- your tax return, then you need to delete the incorrect W-2 entry and enter the 1099 in the correct place in the software. What kind of 1099 do you have? There are over a dozen kinds, so where you enter it matters.
