If you have already filed your return, you'll need to wait for your tax return to either be rejected or accepted, if it is rejected you can delete last year's W-2 and add this year W-2, correct any other errors on the return and resubmit it.

 

If it is accepted, you will need to amend your return to report the correct Form W-2.

 

Amending won't delay your original refund. However, if you're amending to claim more money, the IRS says to wait until you've received your original refund before filing an amendment. Once you've received your original refund, feel free to cash or spend it while your amendment gets processed

 

Please be aware that Form 1040X will not be available in TurboTax until February 24, 2022, but once it is available, you will be able to prepare and e-file your amended return.

 

Please see this TurboTax article for instructions on how to amend your tax return in TurboTax.

Fix what glitch?  You said you entered the wrong tax form from 2020 instead of 2021 W2.

It is not possible to e-file a prior years return.  If you entered his W2 into the program and e-filed, then you filed a 2021 tax return.  E-filing for prior years shuts off a couple of months before the new tax season begins.
