You will have to amend the 2025 tax return for the changes made on the W-2C.

An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

What boxes changed? Some may not require an amended return. If an amended return is required, you'll have to wait until the original is fully processed and you get your refund. Do not change anything right now.

You will have to file an amended return to include the corrected W-2.

We can't see your return to address your change in refund. You would have to make a comparison of both the 2024 and 2025 tax returns to identify the difference.

You can make a change to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted. You should follow these guidelines.

You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. 
The refund calculator will start ‌at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
