Did my taxes and got my return back (which I have downloaded). Before I could finish my taxes, they wanted verification of my identity by showing my 2017 W2. . I filed not long ago. and haven't been able to find my W2 from 2017 till now. Is there anyway I can verify that and finish my taxes, or do I have to run through and refile?

You don't need to re-file if you already have filed 2017 (and 2018). You want to contact the IRS in regards to the identity verification letter you received. If there are instructions on the letter to verify your identity online, try this first. If not, you will have to call them at the phone number on the letter. If this doesn't establish your ID, you will have to visit an IRS Service Center in person. But you won't re-file a tax return.
