Filed tax forgot second W-2

jessl00 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 00:50:33 GMT

I have filed my federal and state taxes but forgot a second W-2 that I had and on Turbotax it says my returns have been accepted but will not let me amend them online even though it says I can do so.

Does there need to be a Turbotax 2019 program, can I not use the 2018 program?

I have never had this happen before.

Thank you for any help in advance.

The 2019 Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return is estimated to be available on 02/05/2020

An amended tax, Form 1040X, return can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return. Wait until you have received the tax refund or the taxes owed have been paid and processed by the IRS before amending the tax return.

The Amend (change) return link will be on the Tax Home page when you sign onto your TurboTax account.

So, should I not touch the money that I got refunded if I have to amend my taxes and add my other w2

You get to keep the first refund. But when you amend you might have to pay the difference back. So don't spend it all until you know how much you might need to pay back.

The refund you receive is for you to use as you wish.

If you amend the 2019 tax return and there are taxes owed then you have to pay the taxes owed when you file the amended return. On the other side, if you amend the 2019 tax return and have a tax refund, the IRS will send you the tax refund as a check in the mail.

On the amended tax return you have to report the amount of a tax refund you received. So all calculations on the amended return take the tax refund into account.

I am in the same situation this year. I filed my taxes and they were accepted and then another w-2 for $420 came in the mail. I know I have to amend but will this cause a delay in getting my original refund?

No, it will not delay your original refund.

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.

If accepted, you'll need to amend your return.
To avoid unnecessary delays, do not amend until your original return has been fully processed. You will need to print and mail the amendment.
Allow 8-12 weeks for processing.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.

You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.

No. In fact do not mail the amended return until you get the first refund.
