I am in need of a W2 from 2019 I forgot to file. Is there any way I could obtain this document other than going through my old employer? Thanks

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Getting it from the employer is your best bet. TurboTax cannot get it for you.

Other ways to get W-2’s:

You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS: It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received. It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information.

Pay Social Security $126 per W-2:

You do know that you will not get a bigger refund by amending and entering the missing W-2, right? It is too late to receive a better refund for a 2019 tax return. But if you owe tax due, you still have to pay.
