All 2016 forms need to be reported on the same 2016 tax return. You cannot simply add your 2016 W-2 to your filing this year. Since you filed 2016 only including one of the two, you will need to amend your 2016 tax return. 

The steps to amend will depend on how you filed for that year. Please refer to the links below for Online prep or Desktop program prep and comment back with any questions so I can be of more assistance.

Zero years. All income from all sources is reported on ONE tax return each and every year in which you are paid that income.
