    with a 2021 w-2 that you didn't report, the IRS should reject your return. then you can add the w-2 and re efile

    did you receive a payment in January 2021 for 2020. that would go on a 2021 w-2.

    I don’t remember getting a payment. It was so long ago. On the turbo tax app my taxes got accepted so I’m super confused about what to do.

    you can ignore that tiny W-2.

    OR

    you can amend later to add $29 to your income.

    you only get one amend e-File so don't waste it.

    let things settle in case there are other issues.

    IRS may adjust your tax return for you.
