When I filed my taxes, my physical W-2 did not match the one I used. It was still accepted. What do I do?

Since you already filed your return and it was accepted by the IRS, you’ll need to amend your  return.

 Wait until you either receive your refund or until your check has cleared  (if you owed money) or the money has been debited from your account.

Then you can amend your return. The following is a link to the amend instructions, but as you can see,  at this point the 2017 instructions aren't available yet, so keep checking back. Amended returns can’t be e-filed. They must be printed out and mailed.
