You cannot add 2021 income to your 2022 return. The Online version is only to prepare your 2022 return. To file your 2021 return you would need the Desktop software of TurboTax.

You can purchase the 2021 TurboTax software at the following link:

Your 2021 return would need to be printed, signed, & then mailed.

If you are filing your 2022 1040 Individual Income Tax Return, you will not be able to file your 2021 W-2 with your 2022 return. You can not put a prior year's documents with your current year's return. If you did not file a prior year return, you will need to file a 2021 return. If you filed the return but did not include 2021 W-2, you would need to amend the return.

You will need to file a separate 2021 1040 Individual Income Tax Return for your 2021 W-2.

Please see the following links on how to file a 1040 return:

To add to my information above. You can file your 2021 return on the IRS Free File.

IRS Free File, available only through IRS.gov, is now accepting 2021 tax returns. IRS Free File is available to any person or family with adjusted gross income of $73,000 or less in 2021. The fastest way to get a refund is by filing and accurate return electronically and selecting direct deposit.
