If your tax return was already submitted and accepted, you will need to amend your tax return.
If you had a balance due, that is not yet paid, you can pay the amount due after your amendment, but before April 18. If this is the case, you need to answer that the original amount is not yet paid when you do your amendment.
You should wait until after you receive your refund, or if there is an amount due, three weeks after your return was accepted.
When you are ready to amend, if you used TurboTax Online:
- Log in to your account and select 2022, then Amend using TurboTax Online.
- Answer the first few questions, then select your reason for amending.
- Edit your W-2 information. As DMarkM1 pointed out, this is an incorrect entry in box 12 of your W-2.
- Continue until you have answered all of the questions, including the explanation for the amendment. Do not submit your amendment until your original return is processed.
