I ALREADY DID MY BIG TAXES WHEN THIS LATE W-2 CAME IN AND I TRIED TO GET THAT DONE WITH HELP BY THE FEDERAL BUILDING BUT COULN'T FIND OUT WHERE THE STATE BUILDING WAS AND WITH MY BUSY SCHEDULE I LOST IT AND ORDERED ANOTHER W-2. WHEN THAT W-2 CAME IN IT WAS DEADLINE TIME AND I WAS SCHEDULED TO WORK THAT WHOLE NIGHT AND STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE STATE BUILDING WAS.I DON'T KNOW DO I JUST WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR TO FILE IT OR FILE IT NOW AND SEND IT OFF(WITH NO HELP)?

You will need to file an amended form 1040x to include this W2 for 2006. You have up to 3 years to file this amended return, so no need to worry. I would get it done as soon as possible, in case this adds additional tax due. If you filed a state income tax return, you will need to amend that one as well.

The main thing is you all ready filed and sent it in. I had the same problem I filed went to the post office to mail it. When I got home I was going through the mail and I got another W-2 I didn't even know I was going to get( it was for unused vacation time I was paid when our company was sold). I went to my local IRS office and they were out of 1040x forms so I ordered one on line. I received my return before I was able to file the 1040x. As soon as I received it in the mail I filed it and mailed it.
You should be able to download the 1040x from the IRS web site. It is better to file as soon as you can just so it is one less thing you need to worry about. Since it is past the deadline you shouldn't have a problem with that because all you are doing is filing an amendment. Also make sure that you file with the state as well. If you still can't find your local IRS office go to their website and they have a link to find your local office. Again you really shouldn't have a problem because it is past the deadline. The important thing is that you already did your taxes. Good Luck

You can't file a 2006 W2 on your 2007 taxes! You have to file a 1040x, and you have to file it now, if this W2 is causing you to owe any more money. If you owe because if it, you are racking up interest and penalties daily.
And taxes are not filed in person, at a state building, or a federal building. They are filed electronically, or through the USPS with a $0.39 stamp.
Also, please unstick your caps lock key!

No, you can't just wait until next year.
You'll need to file an amended return for federal, and for state also assuming your state has a state income tax.

The IRS has a way of not being so kind and gentle, and for sure no sense of humor, I would just send it off, document that you had done so and hang on to your records....it may not even change things to the point where they will care but at least you have been straight forward with them......good luck, I went through over a year with them once becasue my tax preparer recorded my daughters birth date wrong and I didn't catch it.......it sucked. good luck.....

The above link is suited, thank you for posting that! :) as long as you're actually not likely to be paying somebody else to do your taxes, it won't be greater costly to do it now and then amend it as long as you be attentive to you're actually not likely to owe something.
