How can i see my old w2 info

TurboTax does not have copies of W-2's.  There is only a Wage & Income statement that has the information you entered or imported from your W-2.  You can print a copy of your return & all the forms to see the Wage & Income Statement.

 

If you used TurboTax mobile app to snap a picture of your W-2, it's not saved on your device.

How can I get a copy of my W-2?

 

Your best bet is to ask your employer or payroll department for another copy of your W-2

As stated on the back of the W-2 -
Keep Copy C of Form W-2 for at least 3 years after the due date for filing your income tax return. However, to help protect your social security benefits, keep Copy C until you begin receiving social security benefits, just in case there is a question about your work record and/or earnings in a particular year.

 

TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099. It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered. The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.

Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.
