    I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

    TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $90).

     

    To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

    If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.

     

    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.

    Or you can pay the IRS $50 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

    IF you re-download your 2019 tax return PDF file again right now (give it a new name so it doesn't overwrite your original)  that new PDF will now be one with 100+ pages.  At the end of each tax year, sometime in November, TTX saves a final PDF copy of the tax forms...one that contains all forms and worksheets.

     

    As already noted, it will not have your actual W-2 forms that you are responsible for keeping, but it does contain the W-2 worksheets that show what you entered (rightly or wrongly)   just like those you have in your 2018 100+ page PDF file.
