TurboTax does not have a copy of your W2 form. You may obtain those from your employer.  TurboTax has a Wage and Tax Statement worksheet that includes the information from the W2 you entered or imported previously that you would be able to view.  This worksheet would be included in the tax return if you download the PDF to include all forms from TurboTax for the tax year you completed with us.

If you are unable to obtain the W2 from your employer you can obtain a copy of the W2 from the Social Security Administration, but there is a fee. You can also obtain a transcript of the W2 from the IRS.
