Forgot to include my W-2 forms with my original State & Federal taxes.

I just filed and mailed both my State & Federal Taxes and realized after mailing them on 4

/14/2025 that I had forgotten to include my W-2s for both returns, should I fill out a 1040X form immediate and mail it post-marked by today, 4/15/2025, or should I wait? If I wait, then when do I make the amendments on both returns?

Wait for the original return to be completely processed.

The IRS may send a notice requesting additional information.

Here are steps to amend a current tax return.

 

TurboTax Online

  1. On the Tax Home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend.
  2. Select the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
  3. Then Amend using TurboTax Online. 
  4. If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop instead.
  5. Continue through the screens,
  6. Make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
