You must add the W-2 to your tax return.

If your return has been submitted- please wait - if it's rejected for some reason, you can add your W-2 and re-send the return.

If your return has been submitted and accepted- you will have to amend; the return is mailed; takes about 16 weeks to process. Here are amending instructions:

You need to wait for the first return to either be accepted or rejected by the IRS. If rejected, you can then add the second W-2 and refile the return electronically. If it's accepted, then you need to wait for the refund to be issued, then prepare an amended return, print, sign and mail it in, and wait the 12 weeks for them to process it and mail you any additional refund you may be entitled to.

 

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below on amending your tax return:

I have 2 more w-2 's can I go ahead and file them

May 4, 2020

It depends.

 

You can't just file them.  You will need to amend your tax return to include the additional W-2 forms.

 

If you have filed your return and it has been accepted, you will need to file an amended return. 

 

See the attached link for instructions to help you amend your return. 

How to amend my return

 

If you have not filed your return yet, you can simply add the additional W-2 forms into the federal interview section of the program as follows:

  1. Select Income & Expenses
  2. Select Job (W-2)
  3. Click Edit/Add to the right of the Job (W-2) 
  4. The next page will have boxes that say "Add a W-2 for..."Select the appropriate taxpayer and enter the information for each W-2. 

Repeat this process to add each W-2 Form.

@Chan221981 You cannot enter 2021 income on a 2022 tax return next year.   If you left out income you received in 2021 when you prepared your 2021 tax return you have to wait until your 2021 return has been fully processed and then file an amended 2021 return. You do not have a W-2 for bitcoin.    W-2's come from employers.   Be careful about the kind of document you are entering so that you enter it correctly.

@Dani_jdm We cannot see your tax return.   We do not know how much income you will add when you add those W-2's, nor do we know what they will do to your tax liability.  If they are for small amounts, they might not have a huge effect.  or.....if they are for large amounts they might cause you to owe tax due.    Be careful about spending all of the refund you already received until you see what happens when you amend.

Yes, you can spend your money, however  you may want to check your amendment just to be sure you do not owe any money back of if you will get an additional refund.  

 

It doesn't take a lot of time to check it out and then you will have a good idea about where you stand.  There's no rush to send it in, but if you do owe you will want to pay it no later than April 18th for this year, to avoid any interest and/or late payment penalties.

 

The amended return Form 1040-X is available now ahead of schedule.  The IRS will take a little longer to process amendments.  Read all instructions before you begin to amend your return.

I'm just now receiving another W2 what should I do

@Drone86

Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?”  If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet.  You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.

 

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.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

 

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

 

The Form 1040X you might need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.
