TurboTax does not have your W-2. Your W-2 comes from your employer.
I had “copies “ of w2s and when I input the info TurboTax ask if I wanted to something with them. Of course I answered wrong and now I have no idea where they are. It says I earned xxxx amount on TurboTax but I can’t find them (w2) anywhere. I want a physical copies of that form.
Sorry. You can ask your employer for a new copy of your W-2 if you lost the one you received from the employer in January. There is no "physical" copy of your W-2 in TurboTax, nor is there an image you can retrieve. You may have entered the data from your W-2 in to the software and if you pay for the software and print out the return and the worksheets, the information you entered will be on the worksheets. But you say you do not want to file your return with TurboTax, so I doubt you want to pay to print out the return.
you can also go to irs website to obtain transcript

You may also request any transcript type listed below by faxing/mailing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return as instructed on the form.
A Wage and Income transcript which you can get for free from the IRS will show the income reported by the employer and will show the federal withholding information, but not any information for your state. So if you need to file a state return, you still need a copy of your W-2(s) from the employer(s). If you are in one of the states with no state income tax, then try getting the transcript.
