    Gee----send the W-2 to your dad for starters, so that he can file his tax return.   Then when the Form 1040X is available at the end of March, prepare an amended return for yourself and put your own income on the return instead of your father's income.

    Since the IRS accepted your return and you received your refund, you have to amend your return in order to fix it. 

    1. In TurboTax, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. Select Show and then select Amend (change) return, and then Amend using TurboTax Online. (If you don't see Your tax returns & documents, select Tax Home on the left.)
    2. Select the reason you’re amending and follow the instructions

    To delete the incorrect W-2 :

    • Login to your account.
    • Select Federal from the left menu.
    • Go to Wages and Income then Income and Expenses.
    • Scroll down to Job (W-2) and click Edit 
    • Click the trash can icon next to the unwanted W-2 and then answer Yes on the following screen.
