Question

I filed our married/joint return, but forgot to add my wife's W2. Can I amend the return that was just submitted?

I realized after submitting our return that her W2 was sitting unopened on the desk and I just completely forgot to enter it.

    Not yet. You need to wait until your return is fully processed to amend. The next steps depend on if your e-filed return has been accepted or rejected after submitting for e-file.  If your return gets rejected, you can fix the return and re-submit for e-file.  If it is accepted, you will need to amend.
