How do I file taxes from my second job

Please follow these steps to add you W-2 from your second job if you haven't submitted your return already:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “W-2”
  3. Click on “Jump to W-2” and you should see the “Here's your W-2 info” screen
  4. Click on "Add another W-2"

 

 

 

If you have already filed your return then you will need to see if your return gets accepted or rejected. Please be aware that the IRS currently won't start processing returns until February 12, 2021.

 

  • If your return will be rejected by the IRS, then all you have to do is add your W-2 on your return and refile.
  • If your return will be accepted by the IRS, then you have to file an amended return (1040X) to make changes. But you might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed. Please be aware that you can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail.

 

 Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

How do I file taxes from my second job

ALL of your income is supposed to go on the same tax return so after you enter your first W-2, you just click on Add W-2.   Do not e-file until all of your information is on that tax return.   You cannot add income after you e-file.

 

 

Or did you already e-file?
