I accidently chose the option to not import my W2; how can I import it after I already declined the option?

You have to start over from the beginning.

If using online, with your return open click My Account at the top right, then select the option to clear and start over. If you have already paid for your return, then the clear and start over option is not available.

If using the desktop version of the program you physically installed on your computer, close the program and delete your tax file in the documents\turbotax directory. You tax file will have a filename extension of .tax2016

Entering the W-2 manually would take less time then reading these answers so skip the import.

Yeah, and half the time the import doesn't work and causes issues because the electronic form was not properly formatted.
