I asked too many question sorry for that. I can not be sure that everything is okay about my second W2 from and tax return

You said that me, check W-2 forms in "Wages&Income" section. I went to "Wages&Income" section, so there were 2 W2 forms. It shows both of W-2 forms are completed. I wanna just say that i was a J1 student. So i am not in the US still. I wored in 2 different restaurants and earned money. Therefore i got 2 different W-2 forms to be able to get my taxes back. 3-4 months after came back to my country, i received my first W-2 form. Then i filed it and after couple months, i got my all taxes back (Thanks for that). Additionally, after getting my second W-2 form, i decided to file it as well (i just wanted to get my taxes from my second W-2 form). So when i did my first tax returning process for first W-2 form, i entered my american bank account details. All money came to my bank account correctly. However, when i uploaded my second W-2 form in "Wages&Income" in "Add a new W-2 " section, i did not write my bank account details. Because bank account details were not asked from me. Also, i can not see my second W-2 ( second tax returning ) details in "Tax Home" page. I am worry about that if i did something wrong in my second tax retun ( second W-2 form , or should i do extra something? ( i did same thing when i filed my first W-2 form and i got all my money back. Although i got my all taxes from my first W-2 form, i see its details in "Tax Home" page.) I am so sorry if i say something wrong because it is my first time doing that. I wanted to tell all story to explain it clearly.

You will have to file things a different way on an amended return.

 

You should have waited to get your second W-2 and then, with the both of them, you would file your return.

When yo filed the first W-2, the IRS thought you were finished, so they will not recognize the second W-2.

We can fix this by filling an amended return.

 

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.

TurboTax Desktop

  1. Open the TurboTax Desktop software for the year you're amending. 
  2. Under Need to Amend a Filed Return?, 
  3. Select Amend a Filed Return.
  4. Select Amend for the return you need to amend. 
  5. If the return you need doesn’t appear as an option, select Find a Tax File to find and load the return.
  6. On the Do you need to change anything else screen, 
  7. Select Update next to the info you need to change.
  8. Continue through the screens, 
  9. Make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
  10. Don’t forget to select Save As (or Duplicate on Mac) from the File menu when you save a copy of your amended return. 
  11. This will preserve the tax return you originally filed. Give the file a different name from the original, like [tax year]_TurboTax Online

You can then Print and mail the return

You can also include your US bank for deposit.
