I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2 (or 1099)
W-2's come from employers. There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.
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 $126).
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

To clarify, I'm looking for the W2 information that I submitted to turbo tax when I was submitting income information. I can't find this information (with employer name and tax ID) in the PDF download.
The worksheets that are part of the pdf will show the W-2 information. Going forward----save your own W-2's for your own records. They do not take up much space.
Unfortunately they are not listed. Its possible I'm not looking in the correct place.
Also I'm doing an audit of what was submitted to Turbo Tax so want to see this information in the records.
When you fill out your taxes in turbo tax it has you enter in the employer name, ID and all income information on the W2 into the Turbo Tax system. Where is this data for previous tax returns?
That data is in the worksheets that are part of the pdf of the return. Names of employers, employer ID's, etc. are not on your tax return Form 1040.
Can you clarify where to download these worksheets? This information is NOT listed in the PDF that I downloaded from "Your Tax returns & Documents > Download/print return (PDF)". So my question is how to navigate turbo tax to get this information.
