This is why people are told to wait for their W-2 s.  The difcerenfe is probably a deduction for something you have taken out pre-tax like health care or retirement.Did you file it yourself, or with somebody like H&R Block?  If you filed through someone else, call them and ask if it was transmitted yet  they're not legally allowed to send it to the IRS without having the W-2.If you filed it yourself, then you know it's already sent.  In that case, you'll have to file an amended return, 1040X. You can download the form and instructions at irs.gov.  It's not real complex, but must be filed on paper, not efiled.For your state, do it with the correct numbers from your W-2. You might end up with a letter from them too if they do their computer match with the feds before your federal return is corrected.You're not in trouble with the IRS, but you've caused yourself some unnecessary aggravation.Good luck.

Soviet Union-1972-Stamp-0.16. Mars 3.jpg

Launched on 28 May 1971, Mars 3 was the sister mission to Mars 2. It consisted of an orbiter, lander and rover.

The lander is generally regarded to have been the first man-made artifact to perform a soft touchdown to the Martian surface. The landing took place during a dust storm. The lander started to send the first picture from the landing surroundings, but the transmission failed after 14.5 seconds. The partially transmitted picture showed no details, probably caused by dust storm effects. There has been some debate as to whether or not the soft landing was actually successful, however.

It was not possible to deploy the rover.

The orbiter part of the mission was a success and returned photographic data.
