If your returns have already been filed you will have to file an amendment. Amendments are filed on form1040X and must be mailed in and cannot be e-filed. 

Please see the link below. This will guide you on how to file an amendment. 

Please note: Form 1040X will not be available until 2/7/19.

Did you file a 2017 return and need to amend it to add the W2?
Or do you need to file an original 2017 return?
