If you filed a 2018 tax return and did not include ALL of your income then you must amend that tax return to include it. It was reported to the IRS by your employer--the IRS expects you to report all of your income.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.
Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:

You should amend your 2018 return to include the wayward W-2. You will be contacted at some point by the IRS and it's better that you deal with it now to avoid tax penalties.
