I was filing my taxes on TurboTax with only my W2, my return is already processing and is estimated to come in a week. I got my 1099-g form shortly after filing my taxes is this an issue? can I file them separately or will I have to call and get my return cancelled?

No,   you do not file various sorts of income separately.   All of your income was supposed to be included on one tax return.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

So if it says my federal return has been accepted on the TurboTax website does that mean the IRS accepted it? and if so what is an amended tax return? and how do I get a 1040X form, can I do this all online from the TurboTax website and is it a hard process?

Yes, acceptance of your tax return comes from the IRS.  For more information see: What does Accepted mean?

As @xmasbaby0 mentioned, the option to amend your 2021 tax return will not be available until later in the tax season. You can check the availability status of Form 1040X here. 

For more information on how to amend your return when the option is available, please see How to amend (change or correct) a return you've already filed
