Can i file two w2 forms separately?

No.  You have to include all your income on the same tax return.  Did you get another W2 after you filed?

 

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you e-filed.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

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 add or change it and resend it.

If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or paid the tax due. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return. If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.

Can i file two w2 forms separately?

Yes, unfortunately I got one later than the other. Does this mean I can’t file the W2 for my other job anymore or I just have to wait it out? Thanks for your help by the way!

If you filed the first one and it got accepted you will have to amend your return to add it.  See my post above.

You will have to amend the 2019 tax return to include the W-2 you received after filing the tax return.

 

An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return. Wait until you have received the tax refund or the taxes owed have been paid and processed by the IRS before amending the tax return.


On the Tax Home web page when the Form 1040X for amending a 2019 tax return becomes available there will be a link - Amend (change) return


Form 1040X is estimated to be available on 02/27/2020
