Can i go back and file a forgotten w2?

Yes, any W-2 you missed needs to be added to the return.

If you already filed you must do an Amended return to add the W-2.

Once the return has been filed it cannot be stopped (unless you get extremely lucky and IRS would reject it for some reason).

So you have to wait for the return to be processed and you get your refund.

Then approx mid-February you can sign back into TurboTax and do the Amended return.
