I thought that turbotax got my w-2 from ADP. Instead i used 2017 w-2. How do I get this amended? Can I do it from here?

Yes, you can Amend through TurboTax. 

Since you have already filed your returns and they have been Accepted, you need to wait until the IRS fully processes your return and you receive your refund. 

Then, you can Amend your Tax Return by filing Form 1040-X to include your correct Form W2 information.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
