Another W-2?

Question

What can I do if I got another W-2 after I did my taxes? Can I file again, or maybe do it next year?

Thanks.

Thanks for your answers. I actually filed my returns online through the irs and franchis tax board websites. I already got my return, should I just do another one?

Answer 1

You should "re-file" or amend you return. Depending on the federal withholding of the additional W-2 you received, you may or may not get more refund. Don't wait around in doing this because sooner or later the IRS will write you to ask why you omitted that W2 income. Good luck!

Answer 2

You can file an amended return. You can get the forms from www.irs.gov, or your local library which keeps a book of all tax forms. If you had your taxes prepaired by a tax office (ie. Jackson Hewitt, etc.) than they can file one for you. If you paid the additional fee for the coverage they offer at such places, it will be free. If you did not than it will cost you...usually around $20 to $35. BUT, you must have this done this year. If you do it before the April 15th deadline, than there will be no additional IRS fees. If you wait until after the cut off, than you will owe additional fees to the gov. just as if you filed all of your taxes late! Those rates are very high, and add up very fast, so don't wait! Remember, all of this is important...you might be getting more money back than you thought!
Good luck!

You'll have to file an amended return for 2006. Doing it "next year" isn't an option for you. Doing the 1040X is kind of a pain, and if you hired a preparer, it's going cost you-what a bummer!

Answer 4

You can file an amended return, perhaps online at irs.gov.

Answer 5

yes you can file again, but if you arent shure you can ask your tax agent

Answer 6

if it's not much don't worry about it
