my first time filing my taxes, my sister usually do it for me but i decided to do it myself this time and she didnt really tell me the basics. i did it on turbotax which was extremely easy but i wasnt told i had to file all my w2’s at the same time. im googling answers and it all says the same thing, i had to file them all together…. what do i do ???

Did you already e-file?   If so, you messed up.   All of your W-2's were supposed to be on the same tax return.  Going forward, when you are preparing a tax return, ask questions BEFORE you e-file to avoid problems like this.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

If you have already filed your return then you will need to see if your return gets accepted or rejected.

• If your return has been rejected by the IRS, then all you have to do is make the changes (add the missing forms) on your return and refile.
• If your return has been accepted by the IRS, then you have to file an amended return (1040X) to add your other W-2 and 1099-G. But please wait until your refund or payment from the original return is processed. Please be aware that you can e-file your 2021 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. Please see How to amend a tax return for instructions (this will update once the 2021 amended return is ready).
