No, you can’t combine 2020 income on 2021 return. You’d need to file an amended 2020 return to report the additional income. Since the IRS also receives copies of the W2, you’ll be getting a letter soon from the IRS looking for that income. It will come with penalties and interest so amend as soon as possible to avoid them.
