Hi there. I accidentally began filing two of my W-2 forms for 2017 and didn’t realize I had a third W-2 form until after my taxes were all ready to file. Is there a way I can start over so I can

You don't need to start over.  In fact, you cannot start over if you have already submitted your return.  

You can sign back into your return and add your 3rd W-2 form if you have not already filed.  

If you have already filed, you will need to wait and see if your return is accepted or rejected.  If accepted, you will file an amended return.  If it is rejected, you can add the W-2 and then re-file.  The IRS will begin accepting on Jan 29, so check back after that date and check your return status.  Hopefully, you return gets rejected and you can add the W-2 and re-submit.  However, if your return is accepted, use the link below to file an amendment (add your 3rd W-2).   The link will be ready by the time you get your acceptance or rejection notice.

Yes. I just have to sign one more document which I haven’t done yet.
