i need to pay someone to fill out my 1040x
i filed initially with cash app, received my refund then received another w-2 i was not expecting. i have been unable to get help with this through places like turbotax and h&r block as i didnt file with them initially. but i dont know where else to turn for help. please, someone just point me at someone who can do this - i feel like it's agonizingly simple for someone who knows what they're doing with taxes...

Sorry---you cannot pay for someone at TT to prepare a 1040X for a return you prepared someplace else. If you want to use TurboTax to amend a return prepared elsewhere, it will be a "do it yourself" project--and it will not be pleasant.
CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?
If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain. It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally. If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge.
In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states. Every line has to be the same. Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it) AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS. It takes the IRS about 4-6 months to process an amended return
