. Can I send in an amended 1040 without a corrected W2?

I had a FSA for daycare taken out of my paycheck in 2017 but then my daughter's mother claimed our daughter that year.  I still thought since I paid all the daycare it would be okay. My w2 mistakenly did not have the FSA in Box 10.  I filed a 1040 EZ.  Now I realize I need to file an amended 1040 to claim that daycare FSA as income. I asked my payroll for an updated W2 a month ago.  She said it's very difficult to correct a W2 from that long ago Can I file an amended return without a corrected W2?
