You would need to amend your 2019 return and use your 2019 W-2's. Here's how you would go about amending it: How do I amend a 2019 return in TurboTax?

You need to mail in an Amended return to delete the 2018 info.  

 

Then Do you still need to file a 2018 return?  

To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here,

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.

 

Or If you have a simple return You can fill out the blank forms for free.

Here is the IRS 2018 Form 1040

Don’t forget your state.  And you will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
