What do I do if the wage amount was wrong and it gave me a higher return then I what I supposed to get?

If your return gets rejected, you can fix the wrong information and then re-efile.  If your return has been accepted and your wage income is wrong, then you would need to amend your return and mail in the amended return. The IRS also may correct the wage amount because they receive copies of W2's.

The IRS suggests you wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend your return. The amendment form will not be ready until around mid-February
