Deductions & credits

If you received a W-2 in March of 2023, when was the settlement paid?

• I don't think 1 2023 W-2 was available in March of 2023.  
• Only the 2022 was available.
• Check the filing year on the W-2.

If The settlement  was paid in 2022, you have filled everything correctly.

• If you had any federal taxes withheld, the IRS would have noticed a discrepancy.

If you confirm it was paid in 2023, and the W-2 is for 2023 income.

You will have to Amend the 2022 tax return, and include it on your 2023 tax return.

If you want to make changes to a tax return that has already been submitted  and was accepted, you should follow these guidelines to amend your return.

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
