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).

 

To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501

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 $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s

If you do not have copies of your W-2s, you can obtain them through your employer or your employer's payroll processor (for example, ADP).  If obtaining the W-2 through the employer is not an option, you can request a Wage and Income Transcript from the IRS that will list a transcript of all income reported to the IRS.  

 

To obtain the Wage and Income Transcript, you must create an ID.me account with the IRS.  Use the link below to access the IRS transcript system:
