What should I do if I am not sure if I filled out my W2 forms right?

I’m not sure if I did 2 of my 5 W2 forms out from this previous year 2023. I still owe the IRS because of that same mistake and that was the federal taxes weren’t being withheld

No one else can see your tax return. Only you can check to see if you entered your W-2's correctly. Go to Federal>Wages and Income and check each of them very slowly and carefully---one by one -- to see if you entered the information from all of the boxes just as they appear on the W-2.

Every 2023 W-2 you received must be on your 2023 tax return. They go on the SAME tax Form 1040. (No filing some now and some later.) Only 2023 W-2's go on a 2023 tax return. Do not put any W-2's from 2022 or some earlier year on a 2023 tax return.

Yes, if you wish to avoid paying taxes when you file next year's tax return, you should revise Form W-4 provided to your employer(s).

To help you decide how to complete your W-4, see this TurboTax W-4 Withholding Calculator.

Also see the IRS Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 of the W-4 instructions, which includes options for three or more jobs.
