To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

No, you cannot file a W-2 from 2018 on your 2019 return.
If you filed a return in 2018 and omitted that W-2, you'll need to amend your 2018 tax return to add that W-2.
Please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help topic to amend your 2018 tax return.
If you did not file a 2018 tax return, you can file it now to report that W-2.
Please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help topic to prepare your 2018 tax return.
