I made two huge mistakes but already e-filed and it was accepted.

I thought my last unemployment was received in 2020. After I filed I get a w2 for $16,000 worth of unemployment. And a side job I have they gave me a w2 showing just $1,200 in earnings. Then after I filed I get one in the the mail showing $5,000 I. Earnings. Anyways, I assume this screw up will delay everything months before I can try to fix all this? Any suggestions?

Since your return was accepted, you will need to file an amended return. You should not try to amend your return until the original return has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.

Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail. It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them. If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it. If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

Thank you so much. Is the same usually for state?

Yes, it is usually the same for any state.
