I filed my W2 on February 4th, but filed my Capital loss Carryover on Jan. 31. This is the only document that shows up when I look at my 2019 Federal return why I download/print return.

What?  You can only file 1 return.  If the first one was accepted you can't file another one.  If the first one was accepted you need to mail in an Amended 1040X return to add more or correct it.

 

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.

Why do you think you get that much refund?  Is that the withholding on your W2?  You don't always get that all back.
