"Can't find his W-2's" "last year"
By W-2 do you really mean the Wage and Tax Statement that was issued by the employer in January to show tax, Social Security, Medicare, etc. that was withheld--or are you using that term to refer to his tax return? (Form 1040)
By "last year" what tax year do you mean--2017 or 2018?
TurboTax does not have copies of anyone's W-2's. Those come from employers, or you can pay Social Security $86 for each one.

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.

In order to file a past year return, you will have to print it, have your BF sign it in ink, and mail it in. It is too late to e-file 2017 or 2018.
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 mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
