1040 is the right form.  The W-2 is just a form and your 1040 is your actual tax return.  The income from your W-2 gets reported on your Form 1040.

No I just assumed it was the wrong form because I never put in any information from my W-2s and just wanna make sure I get my taxes filed

Okay, did you actually file your return or what does your status say when you sign in?
