If you have filed the 2023 tax return and the IRS has accepted the tax return, you have to amend the 2023 return that was filed to add the new W-2.

 

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.

You will need to file an amended return for the additional w-2.  However, wait until you get your refund first.

The reason to wait is because the IRS can only handle one return in their system at a time with the same social security number.
