If it gets rejected you could fix and resubmit.

If its accepted, you'll have to wait for the end of March and Efile an amended return, may have to pay back some of the refund or may get more refund depending on the 2020 W2 and how different it is from 2019.

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your prompt response I'll appreciate, unfortunately for me was accepted, so if you don't mind I will like to ask you something just for review and make sure about the process because I don't want to mess up everything. First I will going to make a new 1040 with the corrected information and print it for reference and prepare a 1040X to amend the bad one and E-file by the end of march, it can be E-file by that date?, because I heard that it need to be send it by regular mail. I just amend on or two returns a long time ago, and my boss was the one that review and do everything else, now I am working by my self, just to make sure about the process.

Starting with 2019 returns, 1040X can be efiled.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I'm guessing the next time it happens, you will look closer at the picture the client sends 😀

As a side note, I hate when clients do that. Most of the time it takes a day and a half to try to figure out what the W-2 says because its a crappy copy. Good thing I have a team of professionals standing by to help me figure them out -------------- their day job is interpreting hieroglyphics over in the Egyptian pyramids.
