How can I see the details of the separate W2s from a previous year's (say 2018) tax return that I filed with Turbo Tax?

I am able to download my 2018 tax return that I filed with Turbo Tax but I can only see a single value on the W2. There were multiple W2s in the return. I was hoping to see that breakup someplace on the website.

Individual W-2's are not listed that way on your tax return.

 

I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)

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 $86).

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.

You will see an option to download a PDF copy of your 2018 tax return on your home page when you log into TurboTax. If you need to work in the program, to see the form W-2 detail for instance, you can choose the Amend your Return option that will let you into the program, once you download your tax file and the TurboTax program onto your computer.
