You can complete a Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.  To do so in TurboTax see the following:  How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

IRS says:

if you do not get W-2 by Feb 14, contact IRS by phone with employer information.

They will tell you how to proceed.

Turbo Tax does not have a copy of your W-2, but your employer may provide it.

 

If the W-2 is not available, here are the steps to take to get your W-2.

  1. You can try to import it on TurboTax.  (See the process below).
  2. Contact your employer  Contact your employer to see if the W-2 has ben sent, and request a duplicate.
  3. Go online, many employers have an online service to provide document like W-2's.
  4. Contact the IRS:  If you could not get it from your employer you can contact the IRS.
    1. You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040
    2. You can request a transcript
    3. You must provide your
      1. name,
      2. address, city and state (including zip code),
      3. Social Security Number,
      4. phone number,
      5. Employer’s name,
      6. address, city and state (including zip code), and
      7. employer's phone number
  5. As a last resort, if you have a pay stub you ban complete a for 4852 Substitute for Form W-2

To import your W-2 you will have to have some confirming information.

How do I import or enter my W-2?
