Question

After I filed my federal return, I received a W2 from my employer with 1 paycheck on it. Do I need to amend?

This W2 was from one pay period at the beginning of the year before we switched to our new payroll system.

Yes, you will have to amend the 2021 tax return to add the 2021 W-2 that you received after filing.

 

An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
