No, that is not acceptable.  You enter all income received in 2019 on only one tax return.  Only one tax return can be e-filed with your name and Social Security number entered as the taxpayer.

If this was an additional W-2 that your received after filing the tax return, then Please delete the W-2 that you added after the tax return was filed. If you have to amend the return it Must be Exactly as it was originally filed before you can amend the return.

 

If you have e-filed your tax return and need to change, add or delete information on the tax return then you will need to wait for the tax return to either be accepted or rejected by the IRS.
If the tax return is rejected then you can make your changes and re-file the tax return.
If the tax return is accepted then you will have to amend the tax return to make your changes. An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return. Wait until you have received the tax refund or the taxes owed have been paid and processed by the IRS before amending the tax return.
