I recently got a w2 in the mail and realized I had forgotten to add this to my tax return. However, turbotax wont let me edit this. To top it off I just got my refund the other day. What happens if I got my refund but forgot to add this other w2?

You need to mail in an Amended return.

If you need to add another W2, 1099 or more info or correct something on your first return that has been Accepted you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. 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.
