How to amend 2022 tax return? W2 requirements for 1040X filing?
Need to fix my 2022 taxes but not sure about the process. Do I have to file a paper form? Also lost my W2 and wondering if I absolutely need it to amend. Made a mistake reporting my income and need to fix it asap.

Tax pro here - You'll need Form 1040X to amend. Yes, you need documentation to support the changes (W2s, 1099s etc). You can get a wage transcript from IRS.gov or contact your employer for W2 copy. Must be filed by paper - no e-filing for amendments. Mail to the address listed in the 1040X instructions.

Current processing time is 16-20 weeks minimum. But honestly could take longer with IRS backlog 😮💨

Hey guys, I actually found this really helpful tool called taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcripts and tells you exactly what to expect with amended returns. Costs $4.99 but saved me weeks of anxiety. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Yeah it works great for amendments! Shows processing stages, flags potential issues, and gives timeline estimates. Way better than calling IRS 100x

Pro tip: make copies of EVERYTHING before sending. The IRS loves to lose paperwork lol
