I have 2 employers and income from both combined is less than required $12,400. Emp A sent me a W2 and Emp B did not. I filed my return for A. Do I need to include B?

I didn't realize I didn't have B.  Do I have to amend?  I would be better off not filing at all - is there a way to cancel the 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.

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

Thank you.  I will wait.  Will I have to do an amended return to add the missed income?  The total income combined from both employers is under the $12,400 required amount.  Emp B didn't withhold any taxes so I will end up owing $.  I would have been better off not filing at all.  Just wondering if I would be required to file an amendment for the missed income from Emp B, even though both combined incomes were under the required amount.
