Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

How can I see the individual data entered on a previously filed return? I want to see the data I entered for each W-2 and 1099-not the totals listed on the return itself.

Your individual income entries are in the worksheets that are part of the pdf.  The system is currently transitioning from 2019 to 2020, so you will not be able to get to all of those worksheets for 2019 until the transition is complete in early December.  You should always save your own copies of your W-2's and 1099's.

 

 

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 $90).

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 $50 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

And another thing you can do is install the 2019 Desktop program and download the .tax2019 data file to open it.  Then you can see everything you entered.  You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install the program.  

 

If you paid for online you can ask for the Desktop program download.  Contact Customer Service
