I am trying to enter my 1098-T from 2014 and 2015 cause I forgot to file them, but I don't have my w2 from my job so how do I get started

I am trying to go ahead and start filling my taxes with the form I already have

You cannot enter your past years' 1098-T's on your 2016 tax return.  Only information for 2016 can go on your 2016 return.  You can file amended returns for 2014 and 2015 to include them on your previously filed returns, though.

And if you do not have a W-2 for 2016 yet, you should wait for it.  Employers have until January 31 to get them to you.  Do not try to prepare your return with a pay stub.

The IRS will start processing returns on January 23, 2017.  Until then, any returns that have been e-filed will sit there on the server. If you are seeking the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will not issue your refund before February 15, 2017, which means it cannot arrive in your account before February 27, 2017 or later.

How do I file for amended returns

[xmasbaby0]

If you need to enter additional information, delete something, or change something on the the tax return you already filed, you have to wait until your return has been fully processed, then you can prepare an amended return, called a 1040X.  You cannot e-file a 1040X.  It must be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.

After you print, sign and mail your amended return—1040X— to the IRS wait about 3 weeks and then you can begin checking on it at the IRS website.  Be aware that it can take at least 2-3 months for an amended return to be fully processed (or sometimes even longer.)
