Hello, I was filing my taxes and I put in a 2018 W2 instead of a 2019 W2 (clicked on the wrong year without realizing). The IRS just accepted the refund. Problem is, I made way more money on the 2019

Will the IRS give me another refund because I paid more taxes ?

You have a problem.  If the IRS accepts your return, then you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return 1040X and mail it in. You cannot e-file an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT change anything on your return until you start the amended return.  If you did change or add the missing info then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.

Do you still need to file a 2018 return for the 2018 W2?  Or add it to 2018 you filed last year?

And where did you click on the wrong year?  Online is only for 2019.  It doesn't let you click on 2018.
