If I didn't report $142 of interest on my 2016 income tax will I need to amend my 2016 tax form and if so how?

Can I add the unreported interest to this years bank interest instead of filing  an amended form.

Yes, you should amend your 2016 tax return to include the $142 of interest. You should not add the $142 of interest to your 2017 tax return. If you add the $142 to your 2017 tax return, IRS may send you a letter asking why you didn't report the $142 of interest in 2016.
