If you have already filed your return, you will have
to do the following:
1. Wait
until your original return has finished being processed by the
IRS. How will you know? Well, if you are due a refund, then when you receive
it, you know they are finished processing. If you are not due a
refund, then wait at least at
least 3 weeks to make sure
that they are finished with it.
2. Amend your
return through TurboTax, adding the new W-2 information. For more
information on the amendment process, please see the following:
Please see
this video from TurboTax explaining the amendment process if
you want to do it yourself - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/IRS-Tax-Return/Video--How-to-Amend-Taxes-That-Are-Alr...
If you
want to do the amendment through TurboTax, please read the article at this

Normally, you would reopen the return and indicate that you want to amend the
return, and then proceed through the interview.
Note that if you have already filed and did not include that new W-2, then the IRS will be sending you a letter, and will possibly be charging you for additional tax, penalties, and interest, so it's better to amend your return once you are sure that the IRS has finished processing your initial filing (see above).
NOTE: if
you have not yet filed your return, just add the W-2 to TurboTax and
file.
