First----it is years too late to file a 2016 return and receive a refund. Any possible refund has been forfeited. TurboTax does not provide software for tax years going back past 2020, so you cannot use TT to prepare a 2016 return. If you OWE tax due for 2016, the IRS still wants you to pay, with interest and penalties.
As for your W-2--
W-2's come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.
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.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a
The IRS may not have a transcript becuase they only keep records for seven years. if not the only place to get it is from the Social Security Adm for which you have to pay. note that the iRS does not have state info if you need that also.
