@Dakota2016   After the IRS finishes processing your first return and send you the refund you will probably have to amend to add the 2nd W2.

You definitely help me with answer I needed answered so don’t worry about filling if you already did it my other job I was there for couple weeks so I need to file that one I will honestly say a month…

I've forgotten several W2s and nothing happened. Probably because they owed me more with them. And this begs the question if they can just say oh well and not pay me why can I not do the same?... Seems pretty unconstitutional to me..

Every 2020 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2020 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  

Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until February 1 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2!  TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.  TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.

If you filed your tax return without entering all of your 2020 income, after your first return has been fully processed you need to amend your return to include that income.  

Select your tax year for amending instructions:

• 2020
• 2019
• 2018
• 2017

If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return to add the W-2.  An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not 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.

The federal amended tax return, Form 1040-X, for tax year 2021 is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/24/2022

I already filed my taxes but forgot a w2

@moni61 AFTER the IRS has fully processed your tax return you are going to have to file an amended return on Form 1040 X to add the W-2 that you did not include when you filed your original return.
