      I had already sent in my tax refund and I had forgot that I had an additional 1.5K w2 coming. Will I still get my original refund since it has already been accepted??? It only knocked my refund down by $300 ????

          Jaina is correct. You could always just send an amended return. Sometimes, when the wages are that low, they do not even care.

            That happened to me once. It’s OK. I got my refund and then sent in an amended return (and got another refund!).

            I wouldn’t worry about it.

              Who knows. It’s a toss up of they catch it or not. Useless they are picky about w2s and wages being correct so honestly it’s 50 50 if they let it slide or they catch and hold the return until it gets the missing w2.

                The IRS gets all copies of your w2s and wages. If the IRS processes your return and sends a refund to you. You will have to amend the return.

                However if the irs catches the missing w2 you might get a letter requesting the missing wage information. If you happen to be able to get a copy of your updated 2020 transcripts and there’s a 570 code at the bottom they’re going to send you a letter about it.
