Are these forms you created and issued to your contractors/employees? 

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for creating W-2's and Form 1099's - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/create-w-2-1099-forms-employee...

 

 

Or are they ones you revieved ?

 

 

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).

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 $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

You can view the data entry of the W-2 or 1099 through the W-2 worksheet but not the actual copy of the form itself.  If you need a copy of the W-2, you can contact the issuer to receive a copy or, if available, log in to your online account with the issue to request a copy of the forms.  

 

If obtaining through the issuer is not an option, you can request a copy of the wage and income transcript from the IRS.  Listed below is the link to the IRS website; you will need to create an ID.me account to access the information:
