No. A W-9 is a form provided by a company for whom you perform work as an independent contractor. You fill out a W-9 to provide your Social Security number or Tax ID so they can use it to report the amount they paid you to the IRS.
Do you mean you are looking for your W-2---the Wage and Income Statement issued to you by an employer in January?
Every 2021 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2021 tax return, even if they are for small amounts. Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer. You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.
ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.
Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.
After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 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.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU. TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo. It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.
Other ways to get W-2’s:
Pay Social Security $90 per W-2:
A W-9 form is not available through TurboTax. That form is typically given to you by an contactor that hires you to perform services for them. On it, you report your name, social security or federal ID number, and address. They use it to prepare the form 1099-NEC that is given to you to report your earnings for the year.
