You were supposed to wait for all of your W-2's and put all of them on the same tax return.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.” The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you need will not be available until late February.

You file one tax return that lists all your income, deductions and credits.

At this point, you need to wait for your tax return to be processed and any refund to be paid. Then you file an amended return to correct the missing information. If you owe a tax payment (because your new calculated refund is smaller than the amount you were paid), you need to pay that by April 18 to avoid interest charges.

Turbotax usually turns the amending function on in late February or early March.
