Question

I received a letter from NY State saying I was missing a W2. I have uploaded that W2 to Turbo tax. Do I need to contact NY state, or does turbo tax do that for me?

I have already received a Federal refund. NY State informed me that I was missing a W2 from a previous employer. I have entered that W2 into Turbo tax via amended filing. After doing so, Turbo Tax said I am owed more State & Federal.

Do I need to respond to the NY State request for documents directly? Or since I filed on Turbo Tax, will that take care of it? 

Thank you!

Amended returns are filed on paper, so you'll have to mail that extra W-2 with your amended returns to the IRS and possibly NYS. Since NYS has already flagged your state return for correction, you will probably have to respond to the letter instead of filing an amended state return, though you may want to ask NYS first (especially if your amended return shows less additional tax due than NYS does before penalties).
