How do I file last year's taxes if I can't find my w2? How do I file them before I file this years?

The quickest way to get copies is to contact your employer to get a replacement W2.

You can also pay and get your W-2 from Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/link/portal/34011/34019/article/3836/how-can-i-get-a-copy-of-my-wage-and-tax-sta...

Please read TurboTax faq here for getting a transcript from the IRS: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3405861-how-do-i-get-a-copy-of-my-tax-return-or-transcript-from-th...

You can then go ahead and file your 2016 taxes. You will not be able to e-file your 2016 tax return, you will have to print and mail your taxes to the IRS. TurboTax Online is not available for prior-year tax returns. You will have to purchase TurboTax Cd/Download for Windows or Mac and install it on your computer. You can go to this website to purchase one of the 2016 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
