I took my 2023 year refund Can I apply for a tax refund for the previous year for this job as online ?

• I applied for a tax refund for one of my jobs in 2023. This year, I received the W-2 form (2023) for my other job. Can I apply for a tax refund for the previous year for this job as online ?

NO.   You cannot use a 2023 W-2 on a 2024 tax return.  You made a mistake last year and did not include all of your income on your 2023 tax return.  You need to amend your 2023 return to put in that W-2--- or someday you will get a letter from the IRS.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.  

You can watch for information here:

https://www.irs.gov/Filing/Individuals/Amended-Returns-(Form-1040-X)/Wheres-My-Amended-Return-1

The current online program is only for 2024 income.   If you have more than one W-2 for tax year 2024, wait until  you have ALL of them and include all of them on the same tax return.   You cannot put income from any other year on a 2024 return.

You just got a 2023 W2 now?   You need to amend the 2023 return you filed to add the new W2.  You can’t amend Online.  You will have to print and mail the amended return.

I received my 2023 form this year because my employer didn’t give it to me last year. However, the form is incorrect because there is a spelling mistake in my last name. I am currently outside the United States, so I am unable to mail it to the IRS. I’m not US citizen. Please guide me.

Usually the name control that the IRS usually will match a SSN to is the first four letters of your last name. If the first four letters of your last name match, your w2 will be processed. If not, you will need to get a corrected W2 from the employer.

If you filed as a US citizen or Resident Alien in 2023 and filed with Turbo Tax, you can amend your 2023 return by doing this.

To amend your return using Turbo Tax Online.

1. Log into Turbo Tax
2. Select Scroll down Your tax returns & documents in your landing page. Select Amend (change) 2023 return.
3. Go through the preliminary steps and once you are in the return, you can add your W2.

If you filed a non-resident 1040 NR return, you will need to contact Sprint Tax for further instructions. You may contact them here.

My employer informed me that they have been trying to correct it for the past three months but haven't been able to. I have worked at the same workplace this year, so maybe the system will approve it when it sees that it's the same employer. This year, I had the correct document with the right surname. My surname is DURUCAN, but they wrote it as DUNCAN. I am not sure how to proceed with the process.

You said I can't do it online. Can I do it with TurboTax Desktop?

[ThomasM125]

You  can amend the 2023 return with TurboTax desktop. However, you can start the amend process by logging into your current TurboTax program where you will see an option to amend your prior year return. Once you start that routine, it will instruct you to download the desktop TurboTax program for free.

If I encountered an issue while trying to complete this process and opened a support ticket for it, but I was unable to complete the process for free, what should I do?

[JohnB5677]

Yes, you can contact us her, or you can call the TurboTax Support Phone Number.

I am living in another country and cannot call you. I still haven't been able to resolve my issue and am experiencing the same problem. I applied for my 2023 tax return and now want to add my missing W-2 form. To do this, I downloaded TurboTax Desktop 2023 and tried to edit my file through the "Your Tax Returns & Documents" section by selecting the 2023 tax year. However, when I open the downloaded file to make edits, the application crashes.(I deleted and reinstalled the app)

Could this issue be because I filed my 2023 tax return for free? Also, when I try to purchase the 2023 version to complete this process, my payment is not approved. I have tried all my active bank and credit cards, but I keep facing issues.
