Firstly, make sure to be aware of any deadline in the IRS notice. You must respond in time or you may lose your rights to appeal or challenge the finding.
Second, you obviously need to report and pay taxes on income from "job 1" even if you only worked there a month and they never sent you a W-2. To find out exactly what job 1 reported for your income, you can get a Wage & Income transcript for 2015 from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
Third, you need to understand the issue with employer #2. You say the income changed, or the employer reported something different than your W-2? Start with the wage and income transcript. If the income on file matches your pay stubs, then you need to report it as filed. If the income on file is more than you received and you still have pay stubs to prove it, you can try telling the IRS that the W-2 on file is incorrect, and send them copies of your pay stubs and your original W-2 that you believe is correct. Explain there is no basis for the company to add income to your W-2 that they never paid you.
Then finally, you will need to prepare an amended tax return using the new W-2 you forgot, and the corrected W-2 for the second job (if appropriate). Even if the IRS is correct about the missing income, they may not be correct in calculating the tax owed. You can also print and examine the amended tax return before you file it, and compare it with the original return, to see why your tax changed so much. (You might have lost other credits or the PTC, we can't see your file or your letter.)
If the amended tax return agrees with the IRS letter, you owe the money. Pay what you can and ask for a payment plan for the rest. You don't need to mail the amended return, the IRS has already adjusted your account.
If the amended return disagrees with the IRS, send the amended return, your payment, and a letter of explanation, to the office that sent the notice (not the usual amending address).

Notice: CP2501
TAX YEAR: 2018
AUR: [social security number removed]
I received a letter from the IRS saying the income I reported doesn't match up to the ones other financial institutions reported.
I used your TurboTax intuit for filling.
Both incomes were reported.
Could you please find out why Turbo tax didn't send our joint income information?
Thanks.
