I filed my taxes with a 2017 w-2. It has been excepted by IRS. Please walk through on how to amend.

Did you actually get an email from TT saying it was accepted ?  If not then do not believe this screen at all ... the fed accepted date  is not true ... it is only the expected date of acceptance.   

You MUST now WAIT for the IRS to truly accept the return AND fully process the return AND send you the original refund BEFORE you can think of amending the return ... the amendment process will not even be functional until late February anyway.
