What---you "guessed" when you filed a tax return? Did you e-file that return? Was it accepted? Has it been processed? If it has been processed you can amend it; if it has not been fully processed then wait until the IRS is done with t and then amend it to correct the income you entered. (Maybe the IRS will catch your error).
Meanwhile--make every effort to get your W-2(s) if you have not done so. You need them to file correctly.
W-2's come from your employer(s). You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail or even stop in on an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

How do I amend my 2019 TurboTax Online return?
A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.
Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.
See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.
