TT does not have W2 forms. You must get them from those employers, or (for a fee) from the Social Security Admin.

You can get at least a 2007 Wage and Income Transcript here. This transcript is available for up to 10 prior years:

 Turbo Tax doesn't have them.   Can you ask the employer for another copy?   You have to get another copy from the employer or from Social Security

Not sure why you would want W-2's from that long ago.  Even the IRS only saves tax returns for only seven years.  TurboTax never has copies of your W-2's.   Only the data you entered from the W-2's is saved on the worksheets, but if you did not save hard copies of those returns from so long ago, they are gone.   You might be able to pay a fee of $90 each to  the Social Security Administration for copies:

@Toroolawale TurboTax and the IRS save tax returns for seven years.   And TT would not have copies of your W-2's in any event.  TurboTax does not ever have copies of your W-2's.   TT only has the data you entered from the W-2's which is on the worksheets with the pdf of the saved returns.

 

Not sure why you want such old W-2's.   You may be able to get copies from Social Security for a fee.
