    W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

    Other ways to get W-2’s:

     

    Pay Social Security $86 per 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.

    And if you are asking about getting your W-2's after you filed--the answer is still pretty much the same.  You were supposed to save your own copies of your W-2's yourself.  TurboTax does not have them.

     

    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 $86).

    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.

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