After you file
To be clear, you have already filed the return with the wrong W-2, but you have not yet received the 11,508.00 refund? Did you ask for it by direct deposit or by mail? Did you have any reason to think the IRS will not give you your refund?
If the IRS notices that you used the wrong W-2, they will write you a letter asking you to correct it.
However, as you will read everywhere in the Community, you should not amend your return until the IRS has finished processing your original return. For most taxpayers, that means
- getting your refund or
- seeing the direct debit taken your tax due out of your bank account.
In your case, it's both of these situations plus getting a letter from the IRS explaining why you haven't gotten your refund.
Before filing your amended return, you should wait for one of the three situations I listed above to happen. Or else you risk further confusing your situation.
Forms mode
Forms mode is a feature of the CD/download TurboTax product (also called "desktop"). It allows you to see all the forms in real time, and to make overrides. However, overrides are often discouraged because they (1) often make it impossible to e-file, and (2) may invalidate the Tax Accuracy Guarantee.
If you have the desktop product on Windows, you can see Forms mode by clicking on Forms on the upper right. The desktop product on the Mac has the same feature, but how you enter it may vary.
