TurboTax does not have your W-2.

You should have your W-2's Your employer was required by law to get them to you no later then Jan 31, 2020. You are required to keep them for at least 3 years in case the IRS asks for them.

The PDF printout of your tax return contains the W-2 worksheets that contain the information that you entered, but not the actual W-2. You can download the PDF and all worksheets.

If you need a copy of your W-2 then ask your employer.

You can get a free "Wage and Income" transcript form the IRS but that is is not a copy of the W-2 and contains no state information.

You can get an exact copy of the W-2 from the Social Security Administration for $81 per copy.

SS changed the fee to $90 per tax year requested.  

 

2. Get them from the Social Security Administration. There is a fee of $90 for each year. See the following link.


How can I get a copy of my wage and tax statements (Form W-2)?
