How do I add a W-2, W-2c or form after I've already filed?

If you got another form like a W-2 or W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) after filing or you forgot to add something, you can still update your return.

You'll want to determine if the IRS or state has accepted the information you already filed. If the IRS or state has accepted it, you'll see Accepted as the status of your return when you sign in to TurboTax (in Tax Home) or when you open the TurboTax Desktop software. If they have accepted your return, then you may need to amend your tax return.

If your return was rejected, you can add the missing form or information, correct the reason for rejection, and resubmit.

Omitting something like dependent information, an allowable deduction, or even just using the wrong filing status can make your refund/amount due or other IRS records inaccurate. You should correct (amend) the deficiency and submit it to the IRS or state.
