How to file another W2 after I've completed one.

What do you mean you completed one?  Did you actually file the first one?  

You first need to wait until the IRS Accepts or Rejects your original  return.  If they reject it for some reason you can just fix it and resend it.  

If it was Accepted,  you need to wait for your return to be fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared.   Then you can mail in an amended return.  Do NOT change anything yet on your return until you start the amended return.   If you have changed it then take out the changes and put it back to the way it was when you originally filed.

You will still get your original refund or need to pay the first tax due. Then the amended return will only be for the difference you get back or need to pay back.  The Amended return will take up to 16 weeks to process and they only mail checks for refunds.

I mean like I have two jobs and I completed 1 of my W2 and it was accepted and I actually got it back yesterday but I just recently got the W2 from my other job and it won't let me add another.

You have to file all your income on 1 return.  As I said you now have to mail in an amended return to correct the first original return.  What did you get back yesterday?  Did the IRS already send you the first refund?  I didn't think the refunds were going out yet.

If you entered the 2nd W2 then take it out and put your return back to the way it was when you first filed it.  Then you can start the Amended return.  But you have to wait to amend until late February.

I'm so sorry I'm only 19 this is my first year doing this on my own I'm just really confused,
I'm just trying to ask if there is somewhere on my account where I can apply for my second W2 I have as when I was doing the first it asked if I have another one I would like to file for but at the time I wasn't in possession of it, when I go to my account it's just showing me the time line thing.

Use Form 1040X to add or correct information on a return you already filed with the IRS.

You can get the form and instructions at www.irs.gov.

TurboTax amendment can be confusing, you may want to do it by hand if your return is a simple one.

Form 1040X has to be sent in by mail.

I agree wit fanfare, you may find it easier to do the 1040X by hand.
But if you want to tackle it in TurboTax (TT), see How to amend <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed</a>

After starting the amend; Type> w-2 <in the find box. Then Jump to. That will take you to a W-2 summary screen. Then click add a w-2.
