I have a 2017 W-2 that I never filed for a tax return but I am currently doing a 2018 return should I added the 2017 to this one or wait and create another one?

[sberq00431]

I have never done a tax return so the 2017 w-2 is the first one I had.

You need to file the 2017 W2 separately on a 2017 return, which you can still do by following the instructions below -

Sorry you have to file each year separately.  So you need to file a 2017 return.  How much is the W2?  You might not have to file.  Are you a dependent on someone else's return like your parents?

You have to print and mail prior year returns.  When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.  Don’t forget state.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  You have 3 years to file for a refund.  If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
