After filing my federal and state taxes I received a W2C from 1 of my employers. The correction is the state wages amount box 16. The difference is $2591. What do I do?

You will need to amend your state tax return only.

  1. Sign in to the TurboTax account containing the return you need to amend.
  2. Scroll down to under Your tax returns & documents, select Amend (change) 2018 return, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
  3. Select the reason you’re amending and Continue.
  4. Answer the questions about your federal return (you may not have any changes). You'll eventually reach the Let's get started on your state taxes screen where you can begin amending your state return with your changes.

Note: The refund meter is reset and may show odd numbers until all of your changes are entered. When you're finished with your changes, the refund meter shows any additional amount owed or refunded to you. This amount is in addition to your original payment or refund shown on your originally filed tax return.

When finished you will see a copy of your amended return. Print two copies, one for your files and one to mail in. The refund meter shows your new refund or amount due to be mailed in.

Mail one copy of your amended return to your state address listed on your amend instructions. Processing of amended returns can take several months.
