A W-2 for a prior tax year can only be reported on the tax return for that year, ie If you have a W-2 from 2016 then that can only be entered on a 2016 tax return.

if it's for 2015 or earlier and you would get a refund of some or all of the tax withheld, forget it. the statute of limitations has passed for getting that refund. if you owe, the IRS can come after you forever if no return was filed for that year.
