Filing multiple W-2's from different years.

I have multiple w-2 to file I have 2017 and 2016 w-2's to file because I didn't do last years. It didn't count my full tax return & seems to be adding just last year - not both.

Each tax year is separate.  You cannot put another year's W-2 on a 2016 tax return, which is what everyone is preparing right now.  If you forgot to include a W-2 from 2015 on your tax return last year, then you have to amend your 2015 tax return.
