As stated on the back of the W-2 -
Keep Copy C of Form W-2 for at least 3 years after the due date for filing your income tax return. However, to help protect your social security benefits, keep Copy C until you begin receiving social security benefits, just in case there is a question about your work record and/or earnings in a particular year.
TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099.
It would have a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement that included the tax data from the forms that were entered.
The forms would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.
Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.

IF you use an online paid program AND IF you uploaded the PDF of the W-2 forms into the MY DOCS tool then and only then can you download the PDF you saved. Otherwise see the other post for the answer you seek.
My Docs (formerly TurboTax Vault) shows you any tax return you’ve filed in TurboTax Online, past or present, and lets you securely upload and keep all your tax-related documents in one place so you can easily access them when it comes time to do your taxes – or any time you want.
You can store up to 100 MB of scanned receipts, payment confirmations, documentation – whatever you would otherwise keep in a shoebox or filing cabinet. You can even upload your TurboTax PDF and data file backups, as long as each individual upload doesn't exceed 5 MB.
If you’re using a paid TurboTax Online product or you have added PLUS in TurboTax Free Edition, you can access My Docs™ by:
If you don't see these options, it's either because you haven't paid yet or you're using Free Edition. In Free Edition, you can get My Docs™ by paying for the PLUS add-on.
