If I didn't file last year and I have my W-2 for 2015, do I file it as another W-2?

No.  You cannot enter a 2015 Form W-2 on a tax year 2016 return.  The 2015 W-2 has to be entered on a tax year 2015 return.

To file a return for a prior tax year

Only a 2016 return can be prepared online and e-filed.  If you need to prepare a return for 2013, or 2014 or 2015 you can purchase and download software to do it, then print and mail the return(s)
