Howdy, so this past year I worked at another job for 6 months that ended up failing and I assumed I wouldn’t get a w2. I filed my W2 for my current job and recently got the other w2 in the mail. I can’t find a way to add a second w2 after filing so I was looking for some help. 
thank you for your time

You will have to amend the 2019 tax return that was filed to add the additional W-2 that you received.

 

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.
