    Was the first one Accepted?  Then the second one filed should reject. You can only file 1 tax return.  It should include all your income.

     

    If you didn't enter all your W2 and 1099 before you filed you may need to mail in an Amended return.

     

    You cannot change or add anything on the return that you e-filed.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

    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 add or change it and resend it.

    If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or paid the tax due. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return. If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.
