I filed my 2016 return. I've received another W2 from an employer I had also in 2016. I can't file that one separately? What do I do? I need to file this other W2 also.

I've already filed my W2 but I received another W-2 from yet another previous employer and I am unable to file it? What do I do?

You will have to amend your return in order to include this additional W-2.

We recommend that you wait until your original return has been accepted by the IRS before amending it. 

The amended process will not be available until February. At that time click here and follow the instructions on how to amend a 2016 return.

Correct, you can NOT file that W-2 separately.  All you 2016 income gets reported on one 2016 tax return.  Since some 2016 income was omitted, from your original 2016 return, you must now file an Amended Tax Return for 2016.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 3-4 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:
