No you cannot add the W-2 now.  Wait for your return to be fully processed and then amend it to add that missing W-2.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  It will take about 3-4 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:

You want to wait until your original return has been processed and you have received your refund so that the IRS does not get confused!  When you amend, it will take several months for them to process the 1040X.

Most likely--unless somehow they see that you had another W-2 and correct it for you.  No one can fully predict what the IRS will do.  But is quite common for people to forget a W-2 and need to amend later.

You have asked this same thing over and over.  You have posted about this six times and received answers.  Multiple SuperUsers have told you to wait until your tax return is fully processed and then you can amend it to include the W-2 you did not enter when you filed your original return.  But if you want to call the IRS, go right ahead.  800-829-1040.
