We cannot answer whether you will owe. We cannot see the income you entered on your incorrect tax return. You will have to amend that return to delete the wrong W-2 you entered and then enter the correct W-2 for the tax year.

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

Use a mailing service like certified mail to track so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

Without knowing what was on the 2024 W-2 versus the 2023 W-2, this is an unknown. The best way to find out is to amend the 2024 tax return and enter the correct 2024 W-2.
