Hi, can I get W-2 for the previous years?

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

 

 

 W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.  

 

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 $126).

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

Hi, can I get W-2 for the previous years?

You can print the information from your 2022 tax return if you filed with TurboTax last year. Information from xmasbaby0 also discusses other alternatives such as the IRS Transcript,

 

Here's how to view, download, and print your prior-year tax returns. You can access returns for the past seven years.

First time signing in this year

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Continue on the screen showing your prior-year summary. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (user ID) as in prior years.
  2. On the second screen showing product and pricing, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select the year you want, then select Download/print return (PDF).
