Here's how you would add a W2

If your return is accepted by the IRS, you will have to file an amended return to add your second W-2. The federal amended tax return, Form 1040-X, for tax year 2021 is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/17/2022. Once it is available, please see How to amend (change or correct) a return you've already filed for directions on how to amend your return. 

 

Otherwise, if your return is rejected by the IRS, then you can add on your second W-2 and refile. 

 

To enter your W-2 info, you can follow these steps in TurboTax:

  1. Open your tax return. 
  2. Search for W-2 with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page. 
  3. Select the Jump to W-2 link at the top of the search results.
  4. Click on Add a W-2.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to add your second W-2.

If your tax return e-files are rejected, you can add the second W-2 and resubmit (after also clearing whatever caused the rejection).

 

If your tax return e-files are accepted, you will need to wait until your tax returns have been accepted by the IRS and any balances due or refunds are received.  Then you will need to amend your return.  An amended return cannot be e-filed so you will need to print your return and mail.

 

How to amend your return

If you have already filed your 2019 tax return, you will have to file an amended tax return. If you have not yet filed your return you can add the W2 to the existing tax return.

 

If you need to file an amended return.

 

You will need to wait until the IRS has accepted your original return before filing the amendment. If you are to receive a refund, wait until you receive it before filing the amended return. If you owed the IRS money, then wait for your payment to clear. 

 

For TurboTax Online, simply login to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.” If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.

 

You can find out more about amending a return here

 

If you wish to add a W2 to your return:

 

 

While signed in and working in TurboTax

  • Click on Federal in the left-hand black menu
  • Click on Income and Expenses
  • Click on Job (W-2)
  • On the Here's your W-2 info page, click on Add A W2 for XXXX

If you ARE expecting another W-2, wait until you get that W-2, enter it in the Wages & Income sections and file.

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to start accepting or rejecting 2020 tax returns on February 12, 2021
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

I already file but I don’t see my other w-2

Did you keep a copy of your taxes FORM 1040.

 

If you have the form you can easily check to see if you included both W-2's.

 

Box 1 on the Form 1040 is Wages, Salaries, Tips, etc.

 

This will show how much you earned in wages.  It should be the sum of both W-2 box 1 entries. 

 

If you only see the amount from one of the W-2's, you did not enter the other one.

 

If you have to amend your return you should wait until the IRS completely process the original return.

 

Here is how to amend your 2019 tax return.

 

Some quick ground rules:

  1. Be sure the original return was filed and accepted.
  2. DO NOT go back into the return or change anything before you start the amendment process.
  3. Gather everything you need before you start.
  4. Before you start be sure to save a copy of the original return in a safe place.
  5. Complete the entire amendment process before you log out.
  6. Save the amended return under a different name. 

You can correct a return that you've already filed and had accepted.  Select the year that applies and use this guide to proceed.

 

Select your tax year for amending instructions: 2020
