You have to file those older w2 with a tax return for that year. So if they are from 2018, you need to file a tax return for 2018 and a separate tax return for 2019. For the 2018 return, your really late. If you get a refund, no problem. If you owe money, there will likely be penalties.
Every tax year's income has to be filed separately. You cannot combine 2018 and 2019. The online program is only for 2019--no other year.
Online preparation and e-filing for 2018 is permanently closed.

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.
