If you need to change the amount on your W-2 and your return has been accepted and you received your refund, amend your return to make any changes.

Here's how you can amend :

Sign in to you account.
Scroll down to Your tax return & documents , select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
Select Amend using TurboTax Online.
Follow the instructions, your refund or tax due will change to 0. This is normal on amended returns.

To Edit your W-2:

Log in to your account.
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to wages and Income.
Click Edit next to Job (W-2).

If you recieved the refund already you would need to amend the return.

Yes, to amend your 2019 tax return: Wait to see if your return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS or state. If rejected, you can correct and re-send your return.

If accepted you should wait until your return has been processed and you receive your refund or conformation that any tax due has been paid. If you file an amended return while you first return is being processed it can cause extended delays for both returns if two returns are in the system at the same time. In addition, if the IRS makes any change on your original return, you might end up having to amend the amendment. Amended returns can only be mailed - allow 8-12 weeks - can take up to 16 weeks (4 months) for processing.

This Turbo Tax FAQ will show you how to amend your return.
