I filed my first w2 but while filing I never saw an option to add the second w2

If you are asking how to add another W-2 in TurboTax, you can add a second W-2 in TurboTax using the instructions listed below.

 

If you have already filed your tax return without adding your second W-2 then you will have to wait until your tax return is fully processed and you have received your refund to amend your tax return to add it, unless the IRS rejects your tax return.

 

You can get to the screens in TurboTax to enter your Form(s) W-2 as follows if you have not yet efiled your tax return. 

  1. Click on "Search" in the top right of your TurboTax screen.
  2. Type "W-2" in the search bar.
  3. Click on the link "Jump to W-2"
  4. Continue through your TurboTax screens to manually enter your Form W-2
  5. Your screen will say W-2 Summary. Click on the blue box that says Add another W-2.

If you already have filed your tax return and it has been accepted by the IRS than you will have to wait until your return is fully processed and you have received your refund to amend your return.

 

 Also,  the IRS may correct your tax return to include this Form W-2 income for you, and you will not have to amend it.  You will receive a Notice from the IRS if they make a correction (likely a Notice CP2000).  You only need to file an amended return if the IRS didn't catch the error and you need to pay additional tax, or if you disagree with the IRS's calculation.

 

You may be able to see beforehand if they are sending you a notice by accessing your IRS.gov Online account . You can use this link to access/create an online account Online account for individuals.

 

Once your tax return is fully processed, to amend your return using TurboTax Online you will:

  1. Log in to your TurboTax account.
  2. At your homepage, look for "Your tax returns & documents" and select the correct tax year.
  3. The you will select the "Amend (change) return" dropdown and in the dropdown choose "Amend using TurboTax Online".
  4. Follow your prompts, and select your reason for amending.
  5. Make your corrections, and make your corrections (add your interest income).

Make sure to review your return before filing and then  follow the prompts to e-file or print and mail Form 1040-X to the IRS. 

  

You will be able to track your amended return using this link  Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.

Did you actually efile without the second W2?   If the IRS accepted it then that is a problem.
